The California Delta is becoming a destination place not only for those who want quiet getaways or great fishing and boating, but also for media-types who see the potential for interesting and informative articles and TV Shows.  Snug Harbor has been included or featured in the following newspaper articles, magazines and TV shows over the past few years.  We provide links as available.  Our own newsletter: page 1,2,3,4
 

January 2009

The Ryer Island ferry is undergoing a major upgrade...two engines, new paint job, reinforced hull, etc.  CalTrans sent out notices the ferry will be taken down for a month starting January 12, 2009 in the afternoon.  After the Ryer Island Ferry is back up and running, they plan to take down the J-Mac for reconstruction and repairs.  Then once both are back up, there are CalTrans plans to do some major repairs to a portion of Hwy. 84 on Ryer Island north of the ferry landing, south of the Miner's Slough bridge, west side of the island.  It should not affect traffic to/from Snug Harbor....Caltrans Updates   http://www.sacbee.com/latest/story/1638661.html

The Delta continues to be the center of a long standing debate between water users and ecosystem health, NorCal vs SoCal, Farming vs. Urbanization, etc etc etc.  The volume of reports showing up online is, frankly, shocking.  In this economy you would think this might not be the right time to be spending money on some of these studies. (Our personal opinion-sorry!)  However, we want you to know that Snug Harbor Resorts, LLC is NOT within the study area for the "Dual Conveyance" plan-or the path they propose the gigantic water pipes to take.  Part of it might come across Ryer Island though.  If you want to read about what's going on, or see maps, use the links to the left, or click on these to see larger versions:

Article about recent changes in progress with DFG. Summary comments by Mr. Stienstra on other fishing or camping subjects includes a statement to the effect that Delta area parks "like Snug Harbor" should be listed as a "Top 10" in the US.  Thanks for the compliment Mr. Stienstra!

Mark S. Allen comes for a surprise visit to Snug Harbor on a Monday morning, using the J-Mac ferry to get here.  He seems to think we're a town...but we were happy to have him visit and hope he comes back to see what the RV lifestyle and Snug Harbor are really about.

*"How to Fish" segment filmed at Snug Harbor featuring show Host and Snug Harbor patrons continues to rerun due to popular demand

June 2004:  There are ongoing news articles about a fire at Bethel Island and a levee break in the south part of the delta region, near Stockton.  We've received many calls from concerned customers.  Snug Harbor is located in the historic region of the delta, near Rio Vista and Walnut Grove and Isleton.  The events noted in the news do not have any effect on our area of the delta, rest assured!

Tim Allen, his friend Bret Gregory and their friends joined us for a peaceful delta summer week end.  Mr. Allen was very gracious about all the requests for signatures and photos from staff and campers.  One camper was very creative, getting Mr. Allen to sign his RV with a permanent marker!  The group visited many places in the delta, joined in the Poker Run out of Tower Park, had Sunday Brunch at the Ryde Hotel...  peace, beauty and fun.  Isn't that what the delta's all about?  Pictured are Snug Harbor staff with Mr. Allen and Mr. Gregory
