Site 3: Shell Road

This site is located in the Ventura River at the Shell Road bridge. Park before the bridge at a dirt turnout, then walk across the bridge. The site is then accessed by carefully climbing down the rip rap on the south side of the bridge to reach the water. The site is a mix of large boulders and large sections of pipe. There is some native vegetation growing amongst the boulders. This site is home to many birds, including herons, egrets and coots. The channel of flowing water is located on the west side of the river basin. At this site the basin is about forty yards across.
