Richmond Bay Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

The Bay Trail in Richmond is a great place to learn; visitors can read the educational exhibit panels and sculptures giving information about the Richmond Bay Trail wetlands. These stories about the history of Richmond’s shoreline and tidal wetlands inform visitors about wildlife and offshore islands.

Richmond Bay & San Francisco Bay Trails Junction

Highlight • Cycleway

If you're coming from North Point Isabel, when you reach the Richmond Bay & San Francisco Bay Trails Junction, you have two options. Take a right to hop onto the Richmond Bay Trail. If you are coming from the Richmond Bay Trail, you can turn to join the San Francisco Bay Trail. This will lead you to McLaughlin Eastshore State Park and further down to Berkeley.

Bay Trail at Eastshore State Park

One of the few paved sections of the still incomplete Bay Trail. Mostly squeezed in between the bay and the freeway frontage road, with noise and rushing cars diminishing the otherwise outstanding natural views across the bay.
