Newell Open Space Preserve is comprised of 620 acres in the eastern foothills of American Canyon. Parking and trailheads are located at the end of Donaldson Way and Newell Dr. In 1999, the Newell Family donated the parcel, creating open space for 5 miles of trails through hillside grass and oak woodlands that connect with Solano County’s Lynch Canyon and its additional 8 miles of trails.
The preserve is a prime spot on the raptor migration route and has views that extend to San Pablo Bay, Mount Tamalpais, and Sonoma County. Open to hikers, bikers and equestrians, the Preserve continues to be utilized for grazing and cattle can be found resting in the shade of oak trees or grazing on hillsides.
