Brooks Island Regional Preserve

Island off of Richmond, California. Only accessible by reserving a spot to East Bay Regional Park's Brooks Island Adventure guided kayaking / hiking trip from March through October. You can't explore the island without a reservation, but you can kayak around it on your own. Good spot for birding and wildflowers.
