Taking a walk is one of the easiest, yet most healthy things you can do. Relaxing in a quiet place with a view is another good way to recharge. You can do either along the Glen Cove waterfront. From the Carquinez Bridge all the way into Benicia State Park and beyond, you can walk for short distances or miles along the scenic Carquinez Strait. There are trails and interesting sights all along our waterfront. |

The hiking areas are shown on the map (click for larger map) by the dotted lines. It's easiest to describe the waterfront in 3 color-coded parts, though they're all connected. Take a short photo journey along each of these hikes by clicking on them (below). For those with slower internet connections, it may take a minute or two for all the pictures to load. |

Please
be careful when you hike along the waterfront, and understand that this
is just a rough sketch of the trail locations. You'll see how it's laid
out as you explore it, and that's part of the fun. Also remember that it's
always a good idea to hike with at least one other person. And please be
respectful of the land. Don't leave trash or pet-waste behind. Be mindful
of the fire danger in the dry months. Take care of this place and enjoy
it.
You'll notice on the map that getting from the yellow section (waterfront park) to the green section (marina) requires a brief excursion onto neighborhood streets. This is the safe way to go. A treacherous steep slope makes that one stretch of waterfront not advisable. Come explore the Glen Cove waterfront! If you have any thoughts or questions, feel free to send an email. |
