Rancho san rafael regional park
The park has an enchanting variety of facilities. Don't be fooled by the sagebrush and dusty trail on the north side of the park. There are mysteries to explore and discoveries to be made in the wetland habitat. The historic Ranch House is a beautiful way to add a touch of old west to any event.
