The Channel is about 2 miles long. The Stockton Marina is on the Stockton Channel. The [[Interstate 5 in California]] crosses the Channel at its midpoint.

There are a number of [[List of Stockton landmarks|historical landmarks on Stockton Channel]]:
*Miner Levee Site (1927), north side of Stockton Channel between Harrison and Lincoln streets. The site was added to the city register by resolution number 33,837 on January 31, 1977.
* '''[http://bit.ly/2B3A3ci The Hotel Stockton]''' (1910), 133 E Weber Ave, Stockton Weber and El Dorado streets. Constructed in a Mission/Spanish Revival style by local businessmen Lee A. Phillips, Frank A. West, Samuel Frankenheimer, and Edgar B. Brown (architect), the hotel was constructed on a parcel known as "Weber Hold," at the head of the Stockton Channel. As the first reinforced concrete structure in the Central Valley, the hotel was constructed at a cost of $500,000. When it opened for business on May 25, 1910, it included 252 rooms (200 with private baths) and a roof garden with a fountain and pergola. The hotel underwent an extensive renovation in 1950 at a cost of $200,000, but was the victim of poor timing. The increasing use of automobiles led to more convenient roadside motels with ample parking, and rising costs, led the hotel to close on November 26, 1960. For a number of years, the building was home to numerous county offices, including the Department of Public Assistance, due to the demolition of the old courthouse. However, the county offices vacated in 1992 when they moved into new facilities. Since then, the old hotel has been restored, and officially reopened to the public on March 17, 2005; it features exact replicas of the oak railings and wainscoting, the original fireplace, and restored leaded stained glass panels. The upper floors now contain 156 apartments for low- and fixed-income residents, as well as a rooftop terrace. The building is #81000174 on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] and was added on April 1, 1981. The building was added to the city register by resolution number 29,086 on June 1, 1971.<ref>[http://bit.ly/2TeYN8k City of Stockton - Hotel Stockton] Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
