Stockton Travel Information
Stockton is within close proximity to world famous scenic attractions,
including the California coast, San Francisco, Lake Tahoe and Yosemite
National Park. Stockton is one of California's fastest growing cities
and has a dynamic, multi-ethnic and multi-cultural population.
Stockton was recently voted the "Best Tree City" in the western United
States and with over 100,000 trees, it's easy and enjoyable to get lost
in the foliage. Stockton serves perfectly as a central location
to other points of interest in California, such as the ones listed
above, or as a destination in and of itself if one wishes to take
advantage of the San Joaquin Delta
waterway or other recreational opportunities. The city itself has a
higher than average concentration of historic buildings and one may
marvel at the bygone days of architectural opulence in one of the
surrounding suburbs or during one of the shows at the Bob Hope
Theatre. There are many exciting things to experience in Stockton;
with a professional baseball team, an Olympic size ice rink, and the
California Delta, which provides an opportunity for water skiing,
sailing and other water activities, there is certainly no lack of
things to do in this sun-filled California city. Stockton is located
at the junction of I-5 and Highway 4 just 83 miles east of San
Francisco, and 45 miles south of Sacramento, the capital of
California.
