The Bay Trail

The Bay Trail is a network of approximately 500 miles of continuous paths that follow the shoreline surrounding the San Francisco Bay Area. Designed for walking, running, biking, and sometimes skating, the trail connects parks, communities, and natural areas, providing accessible outdoor recreation and scenic views. It promotes healthy lifestyles, environmental awareness, and regional connectivity. The trail plays a vital role in increasing public access to the bay’s waterfronts, encouraging sustainable transportation, and conserving local ecosystems by allowing people to enjoy and appreciate the region’s natural beauty.
