California Delta Chambers and Visitor's Bureau - A Guide to the California Delta Waterways

Lodging

Many who come to the California Delta do their overnighting aboard a boat, RV or tent. But there are lodgings for those who come by car, motorcycle, or bicycle just to mess around; or for those with a boat too small for comfortable overnighting. But do not expect a hotel, motel or inn around every bend in the waterways.

Of course, the California Delta's bigger towns and cities, such as Stockton, Sacramento, Antioch and Pittsburg may have a fine selection of motels and hotels. But such hostelries are scarce in sleepy towns such as Walnut Grove, Locke and Clarksburg. The accommodations might be such as a bed-and-breakfast inn in Isleton's Chinatown, or a comfortable vintage hotel overlooking the river, or a petite floating cabin, or a shoreside housekeeping cabin, or park RVs called "chalets" or "Snuggle Inns." Here, we offer several suggestions for lodgings. Also, check for "rental cabins" (RC) under our marina facility listing.

Morsels Delta Agriculture Part of the charm of the Delta is its isolation. This is agricultural territory. Recreation is just a by-product. The crops are varied, and may change as the economy and conditions dictate. Asparagus is a high-profile crop in San Joaquin County and has spawned the highly popular Stockton Asparagus Festival in April. Great orchards of pears grow along the Sacramento River and the Courtland Pear Fair is a big hit the last Sunday in July. There's corn for as far as the eye can see on some islands. Delta-grown "Blue Grass" sod from McDonald Island provides the greenery for the new Giants Stadium in San Francisco. Endives served in some of the finest restaurants come from a farm near Rio Vista. More and more acreage is going into grape vineyards, that help make the wines of the area that are so highly respected. Tomatoes are still a big Delta crop, and at harvest time the backroads and highways are busy with trucks loaded with the tasty red crop. Alfalfa is plentiful and you can catch its odor and that of milo as you drive by the fields. Sugar beets, rice, onions, carrots and pumpkins? Sure.
