The United States still pays more attention to the protection of the ecological environment, and the scope of this ecological protection area is relatively large.

We visited the preserve on a Tuesday afternoon hoping to walk some of the miles of trail around the bay and parked in the free lot on University just east of Irvine. This lot had parking for people with disabilities, and there was a short, level nature trail to overlook the bay. From there we followed a hard-packed dirt trail a short distance to the visitor center. That trail was somewhat steep, and after arriving we learned that we could have driven the car closer to a small lot adjacent to the visitor center. The building has good educational exhibits about the ecosystem, including some small aquariums. The docent working at the desk was friendly and helpful; he gave us a map and recommended the best areas to visit using a wheelchair. We ended up walking the paved Bayview multi-use trail east from the visitor center to the intersection of Bayview Way and Jamboree Road, about 2.5 miles round-trip.

We visited the Interpretative Center while exploring the Newport Bay Preserve. It's housed in a beautiful, modern building with educational exhibits about the estuary ecosystem, including a short film and aquariums with representatives of the local residents. The docent who greeted us was friendly and helped us plan our visit to the preserve with maps and literature. They offer scheduled nature talks and activities as well. I enjoyed the artwork and scenic views. There are many trails in the area and an observation deck on the roof that overlooks the bay. The building is wheelchair accessible and there is a paved multi-use path that passes by (those who need wheelchair parking can park in the employee lot adjacent to the building). Note that the center is closed on Monday.

What a wonderful place to visit. Such beauty, so serene, lots of wild life and vegetation with gorgeous flowers. Just look and you can see natural beauty and listen to the wild life sing and talk. It's especially refreshing early in the morning or even late afternoon. Either way you're in for a treat. A must see if you're in the area.

This place is tucked away near Newport Harbor High School. It's a great place for kids to see some of the local environment and animals that live there. They also have a small but interesting museum that depicts other nature scenes that used to be around this area. There are several trails that wind around the grounds along with a running man made stream.
