Woodward Island is a cool island located in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta in California. It's about 20 kilometers (12 miles) east of Antioch and 20 kilometers (12 miles) west of Stockton.

This island is pretty big, covering about 725 hectares (1,790 acres). It's surrounded by water channels: Old River is to its west, and Middle River is to its east. To the south, you'll find the Woodward Canal, and Bacon Island is just north of it. Woodward Island is part of San Joaquin County. It is managed by a group called Reclamation District 2072. A Reclamation District is like a special local government that helps manage water and land, often to protect areas from floods or to help with farming.
