Take a moment to breath and escape the urban setting at Sacramento's newest environmental education nature area just 10 minutes from downtown. Blue Heron Trails is open daily, year-round, and is a great way to spend some family time and get the little ones outdoors. With just under a mile of accessible trails, the self-guided site offers free paved parking, non-flush restrooms, educational kiosks, and a pavilion all around restored seasonal wetlands and upland habitat.
