Notable Species
The shoreline's Arrowhead Marsh is notable as one of the best locations to get a good look at the endangered California subspecies of the Ridgway's Rail. In winter the waters of San Leandro Bay are home to a variety of grebes and waterfowl; among the most common species are Surf Scoter, Common Goldeneye, and Eared and Western Grebes.

Turn right at the next light onto Swan Way; the park entrance is immediately on your left and the best birding areas are accessible from the parking lot at the far end of the entrance road.
