Franks Tract State Recreation Area
Franks Tract State Recreation Area is a state park unit of California, USA, featuring a flooded area in the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta. It is accessible only by water. Franks Tract is situated between the False River and Bethel Island. The recreation area is used primarily for fishing and waterfowl hunting. In times of high water, the entire site can be submerged except for portions of the old levees.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.parks.ca.gov/?page_id=490 )〕 The park was established in 1959. It is managed from nearby Brannan Island State Recreation Area, to the northwest.
==History==
Franks Tract was once the United States' second-largest source of peat, after the Everglades.〔 The site was originally reclaimed between 1902 and 1906 and given over to farming of potatoes, beans, asparagus, sugar beets, onions, seed crops, small grains, and corn. In February 1937 Franks Tract was inundated and reclaimed by October, but in February 1938 the False River levee broke and Franks Tract was flooded and never reclaimed. The United States Navy used a portion of the area as a bombing target known as Antioch Bombing Target from 1943 to 1952.
