great to have nature signs that can be scanned by your phone
Decent place to walk. I wish it was paved all the way through. Don’t have any children bring their scooters unless you want to carry it for a portion of the trail. All the people I’ve encountered are nice. Nice place to bring a dog.
If you have a dog this is not the place to take them....
Ticks and foxtails. Bad bad bad.
Lots of bird watching! Love the expansion work they’ve done in recent years. Avoid dusk and dawn hikes during warmer months to avoid gnats and mosquitoes.
Wow, this is one of the worst trails I’ve ever been on. Tons of dog poop and trash everywhere along the trail. In two spots there were piles 3 feet high. There were 2 sketchy men fishing in one spot, who looked to be homeless. They gave me weird looks. Thankfully I had my pit bull mix with me and they left me alone.
Very easy and great walk
Flat easy enjoyable 2.2 walk!
Truly an easy ride mixed surface, started as paved then to loose dirt and then decomposed granite. Lots of information boards along the trail so you can familiarize yourself with the birds, plants & animals you may encounter. I saw about 8 jack rabbits along the trail. Beautiful scenery a blending of nature & modern times.

Great at sunset. If you bring your dog beware of the fox tails!
Easy, peaceful hike with lots of local birds to check out! Make sure to check your pup for ticks after your walk.
As easy as it gets... perfect for putting a baby to sleep in her carriage, walking a dog, or if your aging body parts cannot take more than easy and slow. Not a lot to see other than marshes and faraway horizons. Not challenging whatsoever (the landscape also feels artificial), but pleasant. Good for enjoying a calm summer day. Facilities include tables, bathrooms and parking.
easy walking with lots of expansive views. Nice to have a place to walk your dog too.
Beware ticks!!
schollenberger is a fantastic place to go for an easy walk. It is a great place to go bird watching. Bring your camera and binoculars and walk the loop. You can explore both wetlands and the Petaluma river while on your walk.
