San Joaquin Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary

Good hiking spot in Irvine, California.

There are two parking spots off of Riparian View (via Michelson) that are near the Trees Hill Trail. There's an overflow parking spot on the other side of Riparian View (via Campus Drive) that's closer to where the ponds (and the action) are.
