The Cache Creek Nature Preserve (CCNP) is a 130-acre complex of wetlands, oak savanna, grasslands, and riparian forest.
The Nature Preserve has about 4.5 miles of trails, pathways, and boardwalk through the riparian forest, grasslands, oak savanna, memorial grove, and by the wetlands. The riparian area bordering the Lower Cache Creek has been maintained in a natural state with willows and cottonwood trees shading the trail that winds along the southern edge of the Nature Preserve. Copies of the trail map are available at the Cache Creek Conservancy’s office at the Nature Preserve.
Please stay on the trails, for your safety and the well-being of plants and animals at the CCNP.

The site is home to two unique features: the Tending and Gathering Garden (TGG) and the Jan T. Lowrey Memorial Grove.
The TGG is a collaborative effort with the local Native American community to demonstrate native plant uses in Patwin culture.
The Jan T. Lowrey Memorial Grove showcases California native plants in a manicured setting and contains a small outdoor amphitheater.
We also have a Visitor Center which is open on Sundays 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
