Confirmed from Seaview Trail'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.
What runners say about Seaview Trail
“Great nature and beautiful view overlooking the Bay bridge.”
Wildflowers in full bloom a week ago. Beautiful bay views of the city and treasure island. Nice hike, we did a loop from the big springs parking lot.
Amazing hike, with lots of alternative routes for a distance of your choice
Awesome trail to hike or mountain bike on a clear day! The views of the San Francisco Bay, San Francisco, the Golden Gate bridge, and the east side of the hills to the reservoirs and preserves are fantastic on a clear day. Highly recommend this trail, one of the best in the Bay Area!
Most beautiful trial in the Bay Area! The sunset is breathtaking. I used to go trail running here couple of times a week. I am hoping to get back to the running rhythm here again! ☺️
