Robinson Preserve



Welcome Center - Refurbished Robinson house 


Kayaks are available to rent.
Crotalaria , aka showy rattlebox ,
takes on the appearance of an inflated cylindrical pod.  
The fruit turn brown to black when mature and the seed within the fruit 
often become unattached resulting in a ‘rattlebox’ sound when shaken.

A surprising variety of plant and animal life survives on these Salt Flats.
