Newell Open Space Preserve comprises of 620 acres in the eastern foothills of American Canyon above the High School. Parking and the trailheads are located at the end of Donaldson Way and Newell Dr. In 1999, the Newell Family donated the parcel, creating open space for 5 miles of trails through hillside grass and oak wood lands that connect with Solano County’s Lynch Canyon, and an additional 8 miles of trails. The preserve is a prime spot on the raptor migration route and has views that extend to San Pablo Bay, Mount Tamalpais, and Sonoma County. Open to hikers, bikers and equestrians, the Preserve continues to be utilized for grazing and cattle can be found resting under oak trees out of the sun or grazing on the hillsides.
