"Birding the Carquinez Strait Scenic Loop Trail"

The Carquinez Strait is an 8-mile long channel that connects San Francisco and San Pablo Bays with Suisun Bay and the Sacramento River Delta. Two remarkable regional trails- the Bay Area Ridge Trail and the San Francisco Bay Trail - converge in this area, presenting a unique opportunity to create a shared, 50 mile Carquinez Scenic Loop Trail. While still a work in progress, many miles of beautiful hiking and riding trail are open to enjoy. The sweeping vistas and variety of habitats found along the Carquinez Strait offer fabulous birding opportunities. We hope you enjoy exploring these rich and diverse sites!
