"A Bit Bare for My Taste"
Great for egrets and insects.
Not so good for bears.
A bit underdevloped for humans--unless you are into swamps--literally into them.

"Uninhabited marshland"
Bair Island sounds just how simple as it is...a bare island. It is, in fact, the largest undeveloped, uninhabited island along the San Francisco peninsula. The area, which is located directly east of Steinberger Slough, includes three islands conveniently named Inner, Middle and Outer Island. Together, these three islands cover about 3000 acres of marsh land within Redwood City.
Bair Island is rarely visited by the general public. It is, however, officially considered part of the larger Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge and is known for the critical habitat for a variety of species. Accordingly, it has been protected for decades as a prime area for preservation and restoration.
