The Watsonville Slough Trail follows its namesake waterway through a residential area of the city. It's part of a system of trails in a wetland area abundant with birds; you might see ducks, cormorants, pelicans, herons, egrets, hawks or many others. The trail ends at the entrance to Ramsay Park, which offers a nature center, restrooms, picnic areas, playgrounds and athletic facilities.
West of the trail, you'll find the
Upper Struve Slough Trail and the
Ohlone Loop Trail, which you can use to explore the neighboring Struve Slough.
Parking can be found at Landmark Elementary school (235 Ohlone Parkway) and Ramsay Park (1301 Main Street).
