Description: Heron Bay Trail, in San Leandro, is a beautiful shoreline trail reminiscent of Oyster Bay. It starts off paved, hugs the marsh, and then turns into a rocky trail along the coast. This turns into the Bay Trail, which you can take North to Marina Park. You can also take it South to the Hayward Regional Shoreline. It's usually a little cooler, with a nice breeze, since it's near the coast, which is a good option for a warm day. Just make sure it's not too hot, as this is mostly exposed to sunlight and the paved section will get hot under your dog's paws. Check the pavement to make sure it's not too hot.
