Address: 37.647317, -122.145064
Parking: Free parking available at the address above. To reach the park, you will drive down a road that says "no outlet," and pass the park office. When you reach the end, you will see an EBPARKs sign for the shoreline. Immediately park on either side of the street against the fence. The entrance is along the fence. Another parking lot is available further down the road, but dogs are not allowed in that side of the park, as it is a wildlife protection marsh area.
Hours: 5 A.M. - 10 P.M.
Type: Walk/ Hike (easy)
Regulations: Dogs allowed on-leash in developed areas and off-leash in undeveloped areas. Dogs are not allowed south of W. Winton Ave and the flood control channel.
Best time to visit: Spring, fall, or early morning on a cool day.
Description: Go for an easy walk or hike along the channel running through the park and the scenic shoreline of the San Francisco Bay. The main trail from the parking lot is a .57 mile flat trail running along the flood control channel to a bridge and lookout called “Hayward’s Landing” at the tip of the shoreline. You will have views of SF from this point. Facing Hayward’s Landing, you must turn right, as dogs are not allowed to the left. From here, you can take the SF Bay Trail along the shoreline, for as long as you would like, and then turn back. In about 1.8 miles you will reach San Lorenzo Creek, and in an additional 2.25 miles you will reach the San Leandro Marina. On your way back, you can hike up through the undeveloped hillside via a trail before Hayward’s Landing. You will see a trail post, but it is not on the map. This trail will lead to an open space with views of the bay, hills, and even airplanes landing. There is an incline up and down the trail, but it is not strenuous. If you stay on the trail, it will take you back to the initial trail along the flood control channel, not far from the parking lot.
This trail is fully exposed to sun with no shade. Although there is usually a nice breeze from the bay, the trail can still get hot, so avoid hiking on hot days in full sunlight. There are no restrooms or running water available on the route described above. Restrooms are available south of W. Winton Ave in the other parking lot area, but dogs are not allowed in this area. Trash cans are available at the trailhead.
