Confirmed from Bay Point Regional Shoreline's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

“One of the most beautiful East Bay parks hidden in Bay Point.”

Nice open space ,fresh air .good trail.beatiful views.great bird sighting spot.

★★★★☆ — James , Feb 2024

After many years they restore the place, finally! Some sidewalk, better parking and better road for access was needed. Not sure how is going to look like because it's still under construction. It looks like they are just doing the bare minimal, probably to preserve the nature as is, !? Or maybe insufficient founds...

★★★★☆ — Adrian , Jan 2020

I am fortunate to be able to see behind the scenes as construction is taking place to clean up and fix up this cool little park. Props to East Bay Regional parks for giving this location some attention! When all is said and done, there will be a nice walking trail with a ton of shoreline wildlife to see.

★★★★★ — Bryce , Feb 2020

We have an outdoor NA meeting rain or shine every Sunday. So different birds of prey like hawks and kites and it has a great trail to walk your dog and you can even fish at the end of the trail.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
