Lynch Canyon was named one of the “Seven (hidden) wonders of the West” by Sunset Magazine.  The more than 1,000 acres of grassland, oak woodland and riparian habitat provide food and shelter for deer, foxes, coyotes, bobcats, songbirds, ducks, and many birds of prey, including the majestic golden eagle.  On a clear day, the ridge tops offer panoramic views extending from the Coast Range to San Francisco Bay and across the Delta to the Sierra Nevada.  Lynch Canyon is also a working ranch with cattle grazing
