NOVATO AUTO ACCIDENT PERSONAL INJURY ATTORNEY
Novato is the most northern place in Marin County, around 30 miles north of San Francisco. Novato has low population density and 3,600 acres of open space and parks which makes it a great place for nature lovers to live or visit.
Novato is a hiking and mountain biking haven. 1,558 foot high Mt. Burdell provides breathtaking views. Novato has two public golf courses, a 16,000 square foot skate park and a network of 27 oak-studded parks.
Novato's 139 acre Stafford Lake Park is a major draw for visitors and residents alike, to fish, hike, bike or day camp. Bird watchers and wildlife observers are drawn to Scottsdale Marsh, Deer Island Preserve and Pacheco Pond Wildlife Area. A bit north of Novato is the 900 acre Olompali State Park.
Novato's history dates back to 1300 when Miwok Native Americans lived in villages at the base of Mount Burdell.
This rich history is honored at two Novato sites: the Marin Museum of the American Indian and Olompali State Park. The latter is the site of the first Spanish colonial house believed to have been built in Marin County.
