Novato Village Walkers—Las Gallinas Pond 

Thursday, November 6, 10:00 – 11:00am 

Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District, 300 Smith Ranch Rd, San Rafael

We hope to see you at Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District! This flat, packed-gravel, wide path goes around Pond 1 (and for the more adventuresome, we can walk around Pond 2, as well) at Las Gallinas Valley Sanitary District. The walk around Pond 1 will take about 45 minutes. For those who want to walk a little further, walking around Pond 2 will take at least another half hour.  
 
Directions: From Hwy 101 in San Rafael, take the exit for Smith Ranch Rd east approximately 0.7 miles. Drive over the railroad tracks and turn left just after passing under the vined trellis to stay on Smith Ranch Rd. (If you go through the park entrance, you have gone too far.) Follow Smith Ranch Rd 0.8 miles to the treatment facility. Park on the left. There are 10 parking spaces; however, this is a popular walk so carpooling is recommended. Traffic on Hwy 101 south from Novato to Smith Ranch Rd. may be heavy at 9:30am so please leave enough time to get to the start of the walk by 10:00am. Please RSVP to Pat Bailey at pbailey49@aol.com or text or phone (415) 652-9073.
