Georgiana Slough, Natural waterway in Sacramento County, United States
Georgiana Slough is a waterway that runs between Tyler Island and Andrus Island, linking the Sacramento River to the Mokelumne River. The passage supports both recreational boating and connects important sections of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta.
The waterway took its name in 1850 from the first steamboat to navigate through it, establishing a transportation link between Sacramento and Stockton. This early shipping route helped shape the region's development and trade patterns.
The waterway serves as a gathering place for local anglers and boaters who use it throughout the year. The calm waters and accessible shoreline draw people seeking recreation and connection with the Delta's water systems.
The waterway has several access points with boat launching areas and parking for visitors. Boaters should check local water conditions and bring appropriate safety equipment when using the slough.
The Department of Water Resources operates a Bio-Acoustic Fish Fence that guides migrating salmon away from hazardous Delta routes. This system demonstrates how technology helps protect fish populations during their seasonal migrations.
