Sherman Island (California)
Sherman Island is an island in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta at the confluence of the two rivers in Sacramento County, California, two kilometres northeast of Antioch. The 5,500 ha (14,000 acres) island is the meeting point of Sacramento-, Solano-, and Contra Costa-Counties, and is bordered on the north and northwest by the Sacramento River, on the northeast by Three Mile Slough, and on the east, and south west by the San Joaquin River.
The southwest of the island features a large marshy area and Sherman Lake where there is fishing and other water sports, particularly windsurfing and kite boarding.
