Napa River
A cruise along the Napa River is like a voyage into the past. Beginning at historic Vallejo, the cruise continues along the waterfront of Vallejo and Mare Island. Vallejo once rivaled or surpassed San Francisco in importance. Mare Island is a monument to the industry of the US Navy and began building ships during the civil war. Historic ships from the Mothball Fleet are often found here. Once beyond Vallejo, you enter a different world, one of vineyards, agriculture, backwater homes and marinas. Some of the largest contiguous marshes are located along the Napa River, with much bird life. The old Leslie salt ponds as well as former agricultural lands are being returned as well to marsh land as part of the S.F. Bay National Wildlife refuge. The collection of historic buildings in Napa contains much of the charm of Old California and was the site of the last California Mission.
