Ponds & Estuaries

Ventura County has two primary estuaries: one formed by the Ventura River and another by the Santa Clara River. The beach near the latter is often called “river mouth.”

In addition, there are two significant settling ponds–where treatment plants provide the water– and municipal ponds created as park features.

Both the ponds and estuaries are often visited by migratory birds.
