Bay Area Ridge Trail

Bay Area Ridge Trail

The Bay Area Ridge Trail is a proposed 500-mile (800 km) long, multi-use trail encircling the San Francisco Bay Area, USA. Begun in 1989, over 300 miles (483 km) have been completed as of June 2006, about half of which is fully multi-use (open to hikers, bicyclists, equestrians). All of the trail in San Francisco has been completed, as have large portions on the Peninsula, and in Marin, Santa Clara and Contra Costa counties. Most of the remaining mileage is on private property, and may require easements to continue the expansion of the trail.

The acquisition of land to form Crockett Hills Regional Park in Contra Costa, which opened in June 2006, pushed the trail past the 300 mile (483 km) mark.

The first segment of the trail in Santa Clara County was in Sanborn County Park.
