Belmont Slough

Belmont Slough is a slough on the western shore of San Francisco Bay^[1] separating Redwood Shores and Foster City.^[2]

Foster City has established the slough as a nature preserve.^[3] In the early 1900s the slough was considered the best place to hunt ducks in San Mateo County, with the birds so plentiful, hunters could sneak up on them.^[4]
