China Camp is home to many huge Black-Oaks that are just as graceful and artistic as they are old. Unfortunately, many of them are dying.

Live-Oaks (like this scrub) and the larger Black-Oaks have taken a huge hit here in California due to a pathogen that causes "Sudden Oak Death".

This fruit tree is not native to the area, but is a reminder that people lived, fished, and ranched here at China Camp on San Pablo Bay--the northern "thumb" of San Francisco Bay. China Camp once supported a substantial shrimp harvesting operation but is now a California State Park, a popular get-away for local hikers, mountain-bikers, artists, and photographers.
