description Ledson Marsh Overview
Ledson Marsh is a marsh in Trione-Annadel State Park in Sonoma County, California. It began as a reservoir built to water eucalyptus trees and is now largely covered by cattails, tules, and native grasses; winter water collects there and overflows into Schultz Canyon. The marsh is also habitat for the threatened California red-legged frog, and a trail reaches its edge, making it relevant to park visitors and wetland observers.
