Ryer Island is an island in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta surrounded by Miner Slough and Steamboat Slough at their confluence with the Sacramento River, 6.5 miles north-northeast of Rio Vista.[1] It is in Solano County, California, and managed by Reclamation District 501.[2] The Script error: No such module "convert". island is named in honor of a California pioneer, Dr. Washington M. Ryer, and his family.
