The San Francisco Bay Trail welcomes hikers, joggers, bicyclists, skaters and wheelchair users to more than 350 miles of trails that circle the bay.
Get outside and enjoy what this region is known for around the world — breathtaking and inspiring views that offer unique experiences for everyone.

San Francisco Bay is the jewel of our region — a natural resource, a source of beauty and a home for key transportation infrastructure — boats, bridges, ferries and more. It is a growing network of designated launching and landing sites for non-motorized boats around the Bay.
