West County put-ins, continued

This is the little park next to the water treatment plant in Rodeo. There's room for three or four cars at most. This area is gated off at 4pm (or thereabouts), and the only way to get out is to crash thru a heavy gate or a couple of cyclone fences.


There may be some homeless people camping at the south end of the beach here.

This launch ramp at the Rodeo marina is probably only useful to anyone when the tide is high. I don't think there are any launch fees.

At Bayfront Park in Pinole it can be difficult to get to the water at low tide. The area you see in the image below is usually under water and the creek is only a few inches deep. There's a rocky-gravelly-muddy area to the right of the creek where you can reach the water (at low tide), but I think you would still have to wade out a long ways to have enough depth to launch a kayak.
