Rush Ranch Open Space

Wanted to take a wagon ride but I guess they don’t do that every day:(plus it would have been a tractor pull not with horses:(

As a wedding venue… Not enough people know of this place and I almost would like to keep it that way! The weather was unpredictably cold and windy the day of our wedding due to a cloudy overcast but the sun came out just in time for the ceremony. The setting is beautiful and everyone at the ranch was so helpful throughout the whole planning process. A few things to consider:
Off the grid, solar panels and wind mills. This means, after dark and low wind speeds, power cuts out every now and then. But, don’t worry, the onsite generators kick in pretty quickly.
Wind at high speeds… most of the time. I suggest holding the dining area indoors or in the picnic area, where the wind is blocked by trees and your guest (and table décor) can sit in peace.
Bring more lighting! We had just enough to light the dance floor; which worked out for us because it drew everyone together. But, outside of this area was pitch black.
With that said, it was the perfect wedding location for us. The stay overnight at the guest house was great as well. We recommend rush ranch for the low-​impact /​do-​it-​yourself kind of couple that has lots of friends and family who are willing to help make their day special.

After hiking 4hrs at Lynch Canyon Open Space we drove over to Rush Ranch Open Space since it’s not very far away.
It’s FREE parking at Rush Ranch. It’s pretty neat. There’s a barn, horses, Water Tower, Visitor Info Center with stuff to read & pick up map/​brochures there. Nobody was there to answer questions. Murals are pretty cool.
Make sure you get brochures so you can do 2 hikes:
Marsh Trail
This popular trail is an easy, mostly level 2.2-mile walk that begins at the Visitor Center and heads west to an overlook of the Suisun Marsh and adjacent lands.
South Pasture Trail
A mostly level (but wet in winter) 2.4-mile trail that begins at the water tower south of the barn and leads to a small overlook and a large Native American grinding rock. The trail loops back around the south pasture, crosses a boardwalk and brings you back to the visitor center. Didn’t see bones — bummed.
Just don’t do both when you’re tired out like I was!
Flushed bathrooms available.
No dogs, horses or bicycles on Rush Ranch trails (dogs are allowed on Suisun Hill Trail only), and no collecting of flora and fauna.
Directions
From Highway 12 in Suisun City, head south on Grizzly Island Road for about two miles. The entrance gate is on the right.
Hours
Rush Ranch is open seven days a week from 8:00 a.m.- 7:00 p.m. (or dusk, if earlier) from March 1 to Oct 31, and from 8:00 a.m.- 5:00 p.m. from Nov 1 to February 28. The Suisun Hill Trail across from the ranch is open from dawn to dusk everyday.

The Delta has lots of recreational opportunities, sure, but they largely cater to boaters, hunters, fishers, and naturalists who are fascinated by endemic beetles and such. So if you’re looking for a place to simply get the lay of the land on foot, there’s not a whole lot of options. Fortunately, though, there’s Rush Ranch, a small (2000-​acre) open space preserve on the road to Grizzly Island.
Not surprisingly, it’s situated on a former ranch, whose buildings now house a modest but interesting visitor center. There’s some trails out towards the marsh, but I particularly enjoyed climbing up Suisun Hill across the road, which gives you an excellent 180-​degree view to the south and west, all the way to Mt Diablo.
If you have time, you should really follow the road all the way to Grizzly Island while you’re here. There’s more hiking at the Wildlife Area there, although not in hunting season, which is like half the year. At any rate, even a drive through Grizzly is pretty interesting; you’ll feel worlds away from the city.
(Note: I can’t seem to get the map to show the correct location. It’s located about a mile south of the bridge over the slough).
