Hundreds of miles to explore.

In our region, the San Francisco Bay Trail welcomes hikers, joggers, bicyclists, skaters and wheelchair users to more than 350 miles of trails that circle the bay.

Activities for every taste.

The Bay Trail supports active recreation like jogging and cycling, and also more leisurely activities like birdwatching and fishing.

You never know what you’ll see.

Pack a picnic lunch and look for wildlife, art and new ways to get around in your community.
