A serene scenic view. There’s an auto tour you can take. You have to stay in your vehicle, while on the tour. And… I can’t wait to go bat watching.

Going to see the bats and the sunset is one of the best free activities in the Sacramento/Davis area.

Excellent place to watch birds. It's near downtown Sacramento.

Great place to go for wildlife if you have patience. It's a large open space, you can slowly drive a good section of it. Plenty of raptors, ducks and other critters. Very entertaining during my quick 40 minute visit.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Is the auto tour route closed now? 3-14-19

Yes. It's totally flooded, but you can still park and walk along the levee and hopefully see a beaver. You will definitely see heron.

I know they have the wildlife refuge area near woodland near highway 16 ? Can you give me the name of this and address too . Cause I want to visit . Thanks

The Cache Creek Nature Preserve. 34199 County Road 20. It is still open during the pandemic. There are not usually many people there. So social distancing is easy.

Is there Kayaking?

John Alto | Aug 29, 2018
Lora and Patrick Nagel | Aug 29, 2018

No. Walking and driving only.

Is this area open for bicycling, are there trails for walking and riding? If anyone knows I greatly appreciate any help.

There are, just be prepared to off-road a little.

Are the migratory water fowl still there?

I haven't noticed any in a few days, but the area is closed due to flooding. I imagine it'll be closed for a couple more weeks after this next storm.

Are dogs allowed? I saw that someone else asked the same question but no answer?? Im thinking of going for a walk and of course want to bring my dog.

According to web site "At this time bicycles and dogs are allowed only in the Causeway which is between Interstate 80 and the Railroad tracks." http://yolobasin.org/yolobypasswildlifearea/ "The north side of the preserve, between Interstate 80 and the railroad tracks down which Amtrak trains whiz every couple of hours, is open to dogs and their people (see map; look for dog symbol between highway and railroad tracks)." https://dogtrekker.com/yp/yolo-bypass-wildlife-area-davis-95618

A baby bird fell from the nest I'm unable to put it back in it's nest who do I call for assistance

They often leave the best before they are able to fly and the parents will feed them on the ground. It may not need rescuing.

Are the bats here Now? Have the causeway bat colony returned ?

I had seen them a couple months ago. Not sure if their regularity, but it's definitely worth exploring at this time of day.

Are you allowed to fish at on the slews around Yolo bypass

Joshua Tietjen | Aug 29, 2018
Patrick Nagel | Aug 29, 2018

There is at least one spot to fish. If you look at a map, on the east side of the bypass there is a Waterway running north to south and about halfway down you'll see another water wave running east to west. At that point you may notice a small parking lot and that is where people fish from.

Is bypass open to fishing tomorrow?

Yes
