Black Point

Black Point lies along the tidal Petaluma River in northern Marin County, where its position near San Pablo Bay has connected a small waterside settlement to the wider San Francisco Bay estuary. Marshes and sloughs define the low shoreline, while the hills around Novato rise to the west. The community developed beside the route of the Northwestern Pacific Railroad, recalling a time when this quiet stretch formed part of the Bay Area’s transport network. Black Point Historic Preserve recalls the area’s early settlement and rural Marin character. The river’s wetlands remain an important part of the estuary landscape.
