Rancho Seco Recreational Area, Herald, California

The park is a winter refuge for ducks, geese,
hawks, bald eagles, blue heron and migratory birds.
Two iconic empty towers hint at the history. Now there is
hiking on Howard trail 
 and year-round camping,
 boating, fishing, swimming,wildlife viewing.
We hiked the 7 mile Howard trail in January of 2014 .
There is a drought right now so it looks very dry. The trail 
is marked but some of them are laying on the ground
facing the direction you need to. You cross onto a ranch
and walk by cattle. Rancho seco Recreational Area this 
time of year is very quiet.
