About Us

Antioch Dunes National Wildlife Refuge

Antioch Dunes National Wildlife Refuge, located at 501 Fulton Shipyard Road in Antioch, California, is a park and tourist attraction that was established in 1980 to protect federally listed endangered plants and insects. The refuge is home to the rare Lange's metalmark butterfly, Contra Costa wallflower, and Antioch Dunes evening primrose. Due to the sensitive nature of the habitat, the refuge is closed to the public, but free docent-led tours are available on the second Saturday of each month at 10:00 a.m. Visitors can explore the dunes and observe the unique flora and fauna, including the endangered Antioch Dunes Evening Primrose in full bloom during the spring season. The refuge represents one of the last remaining riverine sand dune environments in the Sacramento–San Joaquin Delta, and efforts are being made to restore and protect the ecosystem. Visitors can learn about ongoing conservation efforts and the importance of preserving this valuable habitat.

"The site it really concealed other than the sign that tells you that the dunes exist. GPS will get you mixed up on location of where the start is and definetly is tour based exclusively. Its a free two hour tour that you show up to the starting trail location and will be taken through a portion of the dunes with a guide and be given unique history insight about the location. This location exists to preserve the last bit of unique wildlife and plants that are left in the area and should be something to check out if you love botany or history. May is a good time of year to see everything in bloom and active wildlife."

"This is a very cool place . It was once open with out a fence around it and free to enter dirtbikes dunebuggys bicycle you name would come here to ride and drive for a day of jumping and climbing and crashing of the sand dune . They prohibit that type of activity now and provide guided tours of the forgotten dune buggy playground. It's still a cool place to visit."

"We went for the docent led tour. He was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot. Not a large area, understandably. I recommend checking this out if you are interested in the ecology of the place."
