Las Gallinas Ponds, San Rafael

Grab your binoculars and cameras, and get ready for an adventure at Las Gallinas!

The Las Gallinas Ponds are an excellent area to view a wide variety of waterfowl and other wetland birds. This slow-paced trip along level trails is excellent for all levels of birding. A scope is useful here if you have one, but many of the birds are close enough for great photo opportunities.

Directions: From Highway 101, take the Smith Ranch Road exit, then go east on Smith Ranch toward the McInnis Park entrance. Turn left immediately after crossing the railroad tracks, staying on Smith Ranch, and go about 1/2 mile to the end of the road at the Las Gallinas Ponds parking lot, where we’ll meet.
