Located on the Albion River Estuary Mendocino Coast, Northern California

Here all our rivers flow into the sea, they have mouths which suck up the ocean waters causing them to rise with a salty infusion and move inland. Like clockwork these waters subside and are released back into the Pacific. Our coastal rivers are tidal, they move in four directions: east and west, and up and down with the tides. The eelgrass beds (Zostera Marina) are some of the largest in the state. As the sky is forever changing and presenting a new face, so does Enchanted Meadow. The Albion River terrain was known to the native Pomo culture as the Tobah Teyah, (toe-buh-tey-ah) land of the crooked river. Redwood forest, mostly mature second growth, with scatterings of old growth and massive firs inhabit the ridges, the river winds through 52 acres of wetlands, known as Enchanted Meadow.		lowtide
