A lovely well paved trail along San Francisco Bay's shoreline. Appreciating seeing the flocks of birds, the dance of airplanes coming in or taking flight, the billowing wild flowers, on each of my walks. A sublime way in starting or ending of a day with my overnight stays in this area! CHEERS! read more

Beautiful San Francisco Bay Trail and we walked out from our hotel in Burlingame and it will allow continuously travel around the shoreline of San Francisco Bay. It is a bicycle and pedestrian trail. The trail is wide enough and scenic. We only took a short walk after dinner close to sunset and it was very beautiful. read more

I love coming over here and running on this part of the Bay Trail!! This stretch goes from Seal Point Park to the Coyote Point Recreational Area right along the bay. It's flat and straight, you will find runners, walkers, skaters, and cyclists enjoying this stretch very often, especially on sunny weekends. You get great views of the bay and the San Mateo Bridge here. I think all parts of the Bay Trail has something unique to offer since it basically runs throughout the Bay Area, and as a runner, I am so happy to have this trail everywhere!!! read more

A fine, flat, clean trail, but confusing due to detours or poor signage. (Foster City) Tedious alert: I started at Port Royal Park in Foster City and went 3 miles to the Levee Pedway, which did not allow bikes contrary to Yelp reviews. Followed detours up Mariners Island, eventually hooking up with the Bay Trail at the Golf Center on 3rd Avenue. There, the Bay Trail was blocked due to construction, with no access to the 3rd Avenue Upper Launch where we saw windsurfers. Instead, we rode to Seal Point Park and beyond. And though Maps shows the trail reaching SFO, we were blocked off well before the marina. It's like finding out Wally World is closed with no moose to punch. (SF): Rode from Crissy Field across the wind-wobbly narrow two-way path across the Golden Gate Bridge (full of angry cyclists) to Sausalito, and missed a few unmarked turns despite studying trail maps. On the way back, a missed turn put us on the actual freeway. I think maybe half the people who jump off the bridge had followed the online trail maps. read more

My husband and I love walking our pup through the trail! It's very scenic and the pathway is very wide. We love starting at Bayside Park, to play fetch, and walking our way down to Kincaid area or vice versa! The view is quite amazing!! There are also various built in exercise machines around the loop, super cute and fun! read more

Love this trail. I come here every time I'm eating at New England Lobster. I park and walk by myself if I arrive early or with a friend for a good 15-20 mins before eating to work up my appetite. The trail is right by the waters. So bring a jacket. Even if it's a nice sunny 75 degree day. Due to the open waters and open area, it gets extremely windy. It's close to SFO, it's a nice view to watch airplanes take off and enjoy a nice coffee there too. When walking on the trials, you'll some times see a bench or 2, so you can sit and rest. I love meeting new people on the walk, esp when they have a really cute puppy!! read more

One of my many places to walk and unwind. Parking is sometimes non existent but you can find more just across the street. It's all flatland along Airport Blvd. no inclines which I like when I'm doing my mild walks. You'll see an occasional plane take off, murky waters, and a dog park. Tbh I'll come just to park and look at the water...don't come here if you can't clean up after yourself or your fur baby, please. read more

The family and I ventured out on this long trail seeking an area that wasn't congested with people. We ended up on the side going into Foster City which was spacious. The trail is very long so you choose how long to walk, bike, roller skate, etc. The air was fresh, the sky clear, and the airplanes crossing above us. People were fishing on a certain part of the trail which was an interesting sight. The trail was very enjoyable except for the people who didn't respect the sections where it was only for pedestrians. The trail has signs that all pedestrians should be wearing a facial covering and keep a 6 foot distance. About 80% of people on this trail we're wearing facial coverings. Most of the parking lots are closed to access the trails. All of the bathrooms are closed so make sure to go before you come to this trail. Overall great trail. Come early to minimize groups of people around you as you walk. Great exercise on a paved flat surface! read more

We rented some bikes and took a ride to the Golden Gate. We ventured along the water, and rode up a hill and saw lots of wild life and beautiful architecture and houses and parks.

Spent a beautiful Saturday afternoon biking here. I've always loved this trail, but haven't been here in about 15 years. The first thing I noticed were business buildings that weren't here before, and in parts of the area that was completely vacant land. I liked it better before, completely undeveloped, but that's life everywhere in the Bay Area. Silicon Valley was once filled with fruit orchards, believe it or not! Nonetheless, still a beautiful long trail, where you can freely bike for miles, without cars, and without being bombarded on the trail with numerous walkers and young children. A great place to spend a nice day, and certainly a great escape from the City. This is the suburbs, folks. The Foster City portion of the trail is on landfill though, and in certain spots you can really smell that landfill! read more

The SF Bay trail never stops to amaze me. It's been almost two years since I wrote my first review, and this update is not about the trail, but rather, the awesome people and life that surrounds the trail as I cycle through. NOTE: see my previous review if you would like detailed info with the trail. I started cycling a few years ago because my knees can no longer take the concrete pavement (the cycle of getting old.... hahaha) Yes, I used to jog for years until my doctor said, "Have you thought about cycling?" Lo-and-behold, I bought a used bike from the San Francisco Bike Rescue (Trek), and the rest was history. I began cycling. Not just cycling, but cycling with my dogs. It was also during that time, I discovered the San Francisco Bay Trail. A million thank you to our Yelp community for posting their awesome pics and sharing their personal experiences. So for this review, I want to share my personal experiences seeing all the wonderful people taking advantage of the trail. From running, jogging, cycling, walking, fishing, windsurfing, plane watching and lots, lots more.... from young to old, I am overjoyed, humbled and truly grateful during my cycling journey to see this awesome beauty. I get teary when I see an elderly couple holding hands, or a single retired gentleman, walking alone with his cane. I feel blessed and grateful to know that they are all mobile, able to walk, and enjoying the outdoor trails. PS - I have since upgraded to an electric bike, due to the fact that towing my 100 lbs+ dog along with his trailer, well..... let's just say was not good for my back! Haha :p Cheers! read more

San Francisco Bay Trail - Top of Seals Point Park - Parks Near Me - San Mateo, California

While I've spent my fair share of time exploring the paved and semi-paved river trails and beach trails of Southern California, I have only begun to explore the SF Bay Trail. With a four day stay in Burlingame for business, I wandered out onto the trail each day, taking it a little farther on each subsequent excursion. Heading north from roughly Anza Dr., I enjoyed watching the tide ebb in this shallow part of the greater bay complex, watching stands of marsh grasses and the various waterfowl that utilize them grow more distinct on the mud flats as the waters receded. I was joined in the paved path by numerous walkers, joggers, stroller-pushers, and a few cyclists, each enjoying nice weather and the incoming traffic at the airport. On a different day, I walked south to Coyote Point, enjoying the footbridge near Anza Lagoon, the dilapidated concrete rip rap along the shoreline, the bobber fishermen on Woolley pier plying the waters for smelt and small sharks, the walk through tall stands of wild anise and other native plants, brought to verdant life by recent rains, and dozens of bird sightings. The struggle between nature and mankind's unavoidable footprint on this part of the world was ever-present, but somehow, it seems each has softened its assault on the other here, agreeing to disagree and tolerating the presence of the other in a strange balance of wild and domesticated. Egrets seemed to enjoy the defunct breakwater markers, songbirds nested in old outbuilding eaves, and a school of herring sparkled in the water near a discarded and submerged shopping cart, seeming to enjoy the relative safety of the underwater structure it provided. Be wary of broken glass and uneven surfaces as you meander to the sounds of the water, the wind, and the occasional airbus pushing on the throttle at distant SFO. It's not the Bay the Great Teenager in the Sky I tended, but it bears its own ethereal beauty, hidden in plain sight for all who have the perspective to enjoy it. read more

This was our puppy's first time going for a walk outside, so we wanted him to have space and see lots of different things (ocean, green grass, dirt, bikes and other dogs). The trails were pretty wide and clean. The pavement portion barely had any trash or dog poop on it either. In terms of safety, it's located parallel to residential neighborhoods, so I would feel safe going on it before sunset. There were a good amount of people there during the early afternoon as well. Also, if you continue to walk down to the end of the trail, there is a nice park with lots of grass that we took our puppy too. The area was a gated baseball field and it was empty (probably due to COVID), which made it easier to let our puppy play off-leash without concerns. Although, there were lots of geese and duck poop on the field, so I would watch where you're stepping. read more

San Francisco Bay Trail - Bike path - Parks Near Me - San Mateo, California

This trail is my favorite place to come Running/Cycling and come here every day of the week... often even twice a day. With the whole of the Bay Trail being 500+ miles long this is just a small stretch of it and probably the busiest too. It runs all the way from Foster City, through San Mateo and down to Burlingame past Coyote Pointe Park, Mariner's Point Golf Course and the Shooting Range where the foot traffic eases off quite considerably. Or if you go in the opposite direction it goes off to Redwood Shore's where you can find an abundance of wildlife. The views along the trail are nice which helps those 15+ mile runs go by a lot quicker! But be warned - with it being in the bay it acts as an air pocket and part's get really windy! The cooling breeze is nice during the hot summer months but still slap on that sunscreen, most of the trail is very open with little to no shade. If you come here by car you can find nearby parking at Shoreline Parks (free) or at Coyote Pointe Park ($5). There are no restrooms along the trail but some can be found at Shoreline Parks. I would only advise using them if you absolutely have to though. The only small niggle I have with the Trail is not the trail itself but some of the people that use it. Please.. stick to the right hand side and parents do not leave your Children to run about unattended for their safety and others. Also put a leash on your Pet's. Hell.. put a leash on your Children too if you have to. ** For those on my Buddies list. ** Keep an eye out.. I'm going to start adding Workout / Nutrition tips to my Check In's! read more

Comfortable and scenic trail to run next to the water that spans around 4 miles roundtrip, depending on your starting point. Not much elevation change so it's an easy run compared to Lake Merced which is where I usually go (21ft gain vs 184-226ft). Lots of parking and very safe area. read more

If you want to get a great look and feel of the San Francisco Bay Trail, then you need to experience this at least once. This walking and biking trail runs alongside the San Francisco Bay. This Yelp description mentions that it extends San Mateo to Foster City; however, it really extends throughout the Bay Area. There are many beautiful things to see and experience along the trail. You notice the bay, the mountains that surround the San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley as well as birds, animals and plant life. Tips: This can be a bit windy, so prepare for some extra time if you're not used to the wind. Temperatures can also be a bit cooler due to the wind, so dress as though the temperatures might be ten degrees cooler. read more

This particular stretch of the SF Bay Trail is where I can bust out my inner-Maverick from Top Gun. What I mean by that is while I'm riding my Trikke down the trail, planes fly down to land on the SFO runways across from the trail, somewhat like in the movie when Maverick is riding his motorbike alongside a plane taking off the runway. It all harmoniously works out when Danger Zone starts playing on my phone. Best thing I love about this trail is that it's super long and flat so it's at pleasant trail for runners and those with rollerblades, skates, bikes, and Trikkes. It's an awesome sight seeing the bay right next to the trail. But because it's right next to the bay, it can get really windy which actually makes for a great workout running against it. Overall it's a great trail and the weather is almost always perfect in San Mateo. read more

Hella windy. Concrete trail along the Bay--allows you to see up close and personal how effed up the environment is. There's a lot wildlife from hares to various types of birds.

Very long and flat trail with a super view (those airplanes, that bridge, that sun). When working from San Mateo this is one of the spots I like to go for brisk walk during lunch time while whatsapping and contemplating nature. It can be very solitary trail, but you usually encounter some cyclists, runners and some workers walking in small groups from the nearby companies. No worries about parking at the streets are full of empty places to park (I could not find an official parking for this trail, nor public bathrooms).This is a very nicely landscaped trail that you should not miss for your workout! read more

Great long run trail. Monkey usual runs span between Bayfront and Coyote Point Parks, but have gone as far as San Mateo Bridge. Trail is paved asphalt, smooth and painted within the parks it connects. Water fountains can be found in parks only. Be prepared. As it outlines the bay, trail is mostly sunny shoreline on one side, low vegetation on other and intersected sporadically with a side street entrance. Random cyclists and runners will be spotted at any given time, so keep to the right. Please. Dogs allowed so bring your bags too. If caught in the rain, blame yourself and fear not, there are high voltage power lines above to intercept any lightning strikes. If you're lucky, you'll go quick. If not, you'll be crippled for the rest of your life. Alas, I digress. Really cool place to run/bike. Could use some trees for shade, maybe a water fountain. But overall, good trail. Monkey do again soon. read more

A clean, well maintained trail for walking, biking, jogging ... I take my dog there for walks every now and then and he loves it. The only problem?

This I'd have to say is the best trail I've ever been on! I start off at Oracle and then head up north. I haven't yet completed the trail, but I will. What I love about this trail is that it gently takes you up the slough to the bay, very serene. So many animals, jack rabbits, ground squirrels, wild cats and so on. They keep this trail clean, there are garbage cans and doggy bags all down the trail. The wind is the hardest factor about this trail, but I heard that you need to go in the mornings to beat the wind. I have to thank my co-worker for telling me about this trail. One day I also plan on roller blading this trail. It is nice to see all the families out exercising together. read more

Great place to walk or run. Found a long 3 mile loop from my hotel. Only sketchy area seemed to be The Sherman area. Walked a little faster through here.

San Francisco Bay Trail - Walkway and bay, what more does a boy from BAMA need!!! - Parks Near Me - San Mateo, California

Extremely well kept portion of the SF Bay Trail. After I had my little one, I've been looking far and wide for running trails that can handle a jogging stroller without too bumpy of a ride. Hence, a lot of dirt trails are out of the question at the moment. Running with a stroller and a 15 lb infant in a car seat is also way more of a workout than what I'm used to as a lone runner. Hence, a good cool trail was also a priority. Pros: Paved and WELL maintained. Lots of parts of the Bay Trail are paved. However, many portions are poorly maintained or are hazardous for road bikes / strollers due to lifting from tree roots (i.e. see the area near Redwood Shores library / Oracle -- even running requires a keen eye for potholes and significant bumps). Stroller and road bikes can handle this stretch. Wide enough to handle the amount of recreational traffic, between slow walkers and bikers. There are bikes that can go pretty fast here so this is also helpful. Water views and natural cooling from the Bay, significant cross breeze so it's a comfortable run even in midday and the summer. Plenty of (parallel) parking, especially in Foster City near the bridge. Dogs are ok here, people behave themselves and pick up / keep dogs on leash. Let's keep it this way, peeps. Lots of benches for stopping breaks. Bathrooms in some parts. Picnic areas (i.e. near the bridge). Marsh and water views. Maintained plantlife (i.e. succulents) make the whole trail pretty. Cons: Foster City takes forever to get to due to the 92 / 101 interchange traffic and unfortunately there's really only one way there. In the winter, the air can be crisp from the bay breeze and the wind can be unpleasant at night. Really close to a lot of residential areas so it's not a real getaway from suburbia but it does the job. read more

We've been San Mateo/Foster City residents for six years, and I didn't fully explore the trail until just last June. Since then, I regularly do morning 17-mile bicycle rides on the trail from Hillsdale/Beach Park going away from the bridge to Ryder Park and back. The trail doesn't loop around completely, a bit of city riding from the RCN building onto Mariner's Island and then back on a local neighborhood trail towards Joinville Park and then back on the Bay Trail either through the storage place or through Kehoe and Norfolk onto the paved access behind the apartments before Third. I might hit the trail tomorrow Monday morning, and Tuesday morning....and Wednesday....also Thursday..... Who should I thank? read more

"I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice When I'm not around You're so f*cking special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here" When it comes to me and running, I think Radiohead puts it best... I'd like all those things and I temporarily think I've got a good workout plan but then I start to run and then the inevitable nervous bathroom sweats set in and all of a sudden I go from cool girl running to creep who's looking for quiet bushy areas off the trial then using her car, a plastic bag, a padded mailer envelope, and a Walgreens receipt as a makeshift porta-potty. I learned some hard lessons on this trail but it's all for the better, I guess. Plus, it's been hard for me moving here from the Midwest, apparently the flattest place on Earth, to the hilly extreme of the Bay area and finding this totally flat trail was a god-send when wanting to do some long distance running. The views during the morning and day and sunset are pretty great as long as you're north of the San Mateo bridge. Once you're south of there it's not super scenic and there's actually quite a bit of construction along the Foster City end of the trial that make it a tiny bit of an eye sore, but it's also possible that I'm just so exhausted at that point that everything looks a little murky to me. Running north you'll get the wind to your face and south to your back, which is obviously ideal but the trail doesn't loop so you'll end up having the wind hitting you from both directions anyway. There's always tons of parking along the street that runs alongside the trail, but there aren't any public bathrooms that I've noticed (and believe me, I've looked). If you do have to go, hopefully a business along the route will take mercy on you and let you use theirs. read more

One of the best parts of living in the Bay Area is the access to coastal walking and biking trails. My friends and I decided to head to Foster City and bike this part of the Bay Trail, which gives you an excellent view of the San Mateo Bridge. This is a relatively flat trail, which can give you a leisurely way to explore the marshes and wildlife in the area. I saw several joggers and walkers coexisting with the bikers, and there were several spots to sit and take a moment to enjoy the spectacular views. I also saw a dog park along the pathway once you pass into San Mateo, so this could be a great place to bring your barking four-legged friend. There's nothing like the Bay Trail to help renew your spirit! read more

My butt is looking rather scrumptious these days and this trail and my friend Maria are the reason for this. When I run on my own, I tend to zone out, and soon realize that I am "running" at a pace of about a 30 minute mile. On those days, I come home from an hour and a half long "run" and realize I have not so much as broken a sweat. Luckily, when I run with someone, especially someone with all sorts of gadgets like Maria, I always know how fast I am running and how far I have gone, so it gives me that needed push to go faster/further. This trail is a short run from my apartment and the beauty of it is a definite motivator. The trail is nicely paved and gives a constant view of the bay. If you are lucky and the weather is right, you will see kite surfers or wind surfers. Plus, it is not uncommon to see wildlife. I've run by skunks and rabbits, and usually see all sort of sea birds in the water at low-tide. I always feel like I am about to be attacked by one of the thousand cats on the trail, but it hasn't happened yet. One note of caution: The is a large parking lot along the trail in Foster City, and regardless of if anyone is out on the water, there are usually people sitting in their cars, or sitting on the patio chairs. It usually isn't a big deal, but I've had a few sketchy experiences here later at night involving drunk/scary men. After that, I substituted my tight running pants for baggy sweats. Just because my ass is hot, it doesn't make it okay to run after me asking if you can grab it. You can't. read more

The Bay Trail, when it is finished, will be a five star feat. Being able to cycle all around the Bay on one simple, unending strip of smooth concrete will, someday, be life changing. In the meantime, it is a great trail, or there are good and great sections of the trail broken up by obtrusive highways, etc. This review will be ongoing, as I update the sections of the trail I have been on, one by one. 4/18: Rode from my house down to the Brisbane Marina, and followed a bike path through the office park, and ended up joining the Bay Trail where it picks up in Oyster Point. I learned more about Oyster Point in the next 30 minutes thanks to the informative signs posted periodically on the trail. Like, did you know Liberty Ships were built in the shallow channel there during WW2? Or that there are creatures living under those muddy, murky waters? (Ok that last one was obvious, but it was cool to know which ones). Other than the impromptu history lesson, I really enjoy biking past the series of harbors and marinas. I have a fantasy of one day owning a houseboat, so in the meantime I can ogle those of others from shore. The clink-clink of riggings hitting masts is one of the most soothing sounds ever. If you focus on the Trail, you can almost tune out the omnipresent office parks. Yet, it almost makes it more special, more unique, that this trail, these boats, this history, and this future can all coexist. 4/26 South San Francisco to Burlingame The path past Oyster Point toward San Bruno point, via Genentech territory, is lovely. Meticulously maintained flower beds, cute nooks with benches, and a great overlook where you can watch planes take off from SFO. However, the trail, as of 4.26, was closed before San Bruno point, so I had to cycle back and then up to Gateway to head to S. Airport. One thing I think that would make the Bay Trail experience even better is if, at the point at which the trail is inevitably interrupted, there was some sort of signage with directions to getting back on the trail. Lucky for me, I have a Internet enabled phone, so I just downloaded the map. Tip: print it out before hand- even if you think you'll remember the way, you won't. Past Millbrae Blvd., the trail picks back up and winds its way along the Burlingame shoreline. While the bay views are spectacular, and the food options more plentiful (a number of restaurants front the shoreline), this path is much more traveled by walkers/joggers/convention goers. That, plus the fact I hit a curb at the wrong angle when rejoining the trail and flew off my bike, makes me less fond of this part of the trail. Next up- Coyote Pt. read more
