Best Bird Watching Area Roseville Near Me

4worldlovers:
Explore over five miles of signed and maintained grassy trails that run through mature oak forest, open grassland, along sloughs and a lake, through mixed riparian woodland, and on to the bank of the Feather River. eBird reports over 190 species of birds have been observed, including Black-crowned Night Herons, Wood Ducks, and Swainson's Hawks.

Dogs are not permitted in the Bobelaine Audubon Sanctuary and parking is limited. Be cautious where you park. Respect the private property west of Bobelaine.

From Sacramento: Take Highway 99/70 north. When Highways 99 and 70 split, stay on 99 and drive about 6 miles, crossing the Feather River bridge. The first signed street after the bridge is Sacramento Ave; drive 1.o miles farther north and turn right on Laurel Avenue.

From Marysville/Yuba City: Take Hwy 99 south to just past the old Dingville sign, then turn left on Laurel Avenue.

Once on Laurel Avenue, drive east about 0.75 miles until you reach an "End" sign and “Not a County Road” sign. Beyond this point the road is on private land. Please drive slowly across the heavy duty tread grate. Continue on until you reach the "Bobelaine Audubon Sanctuary" sign, parking lot, kiosk and metal barn.

4worldlovers: The 17 acre park was purchased from the Royer family in 1917 and in 1935, the park was substantially updated. Royer Park provides trail access to the Roseville Downtown Library, Town Square, historic Vernon Street. There are two playgrounds and numerous sporting amenities.

Hours: Park opens at sunrise and closes one hour after sunset

The school-age playground is closed for renovation beginning January 9 to Spring 2023, weather permitting. Thank you for your cooperation and patience.
