Confirmed from Corteva Wetlands Preserve's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
This 472-acre tidal wetlands conservation area offers trails, wildlife-viewing & beaver ponds.

“The Corteva Wetlands Preserve is a serene and beautiful refuge that reminds us what Antioch is capable of.”
The Corteva Wetlands Preserve is a serene and beautiful refuge that reminds us what Antioch is capable of. While much of the Bay Area races ahead with new developments and glittering downtowns, Antioch can sometimes feel like it's been left behind: forgotten in the shuffle of progress.
It was difficult to find detailed info about this park. The website is vague. There are no maps posted in or around the park. The entrance is not clearly marked. It looks like you need to hop a fence to get in...but you don't. Park in the Antioch marina parking lot.
Good walk. I started at the Smith Landing parking lot. There is a trail you can walk.
What a great little walk next to an amazing restaurant and marina. Once you pass the planks of doom lol the walk on solid ground is a piece of cake.
