Confirmed from Sea View Pkwy, SF Bay Trail Access' 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.

Great path and easy access to walk and walk dogs. I walk a couple young dogs here to burn some energy and take some sniffs. Beautiful views and clean paths

Bay farm islands treasure for those who like walk with family/dog. Road side parking. Ferry terminal has washrooms. Dusk and dawn will be perfect for those who enjoy sky shows.

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.
