Belmont Slough

Belmont Slough is a slough on the western shore of San Francisco Bay[1] separating Redwood Shores and Foster City.[2]

Foster City has established the slough as a nature preserve.[3] In the early 1900s the slough was considered the best place to hunt ducks in San Mateo County, with the birds so plentiful, hunters could sneak up on them.[4]
