DIKE TRAIL DESCRIPTION

Along the Dike trail, visitors can witness each season’s most impressive displays in bird sightings and flowering plants. During summer water evaporates, leaving salt pans where killdeer nest. Winter brackish ponds shelter hundreds of waterfowl. The dike area was an early part of restoration efforts in the East Basin beginning in the 1980s. It received an Orchid Award for creating nesting islands and restored habitat for sensitive and endangered species.
