Stream, Mill and French Trail Loop is a 4.4 mile heavily trafficked loop trail located near Oakland, California that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, running, and bird watching and is best used from April until October. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.
April 18, 2021Love that this trail has a leash-free zone for dogs. It’s very nice and shady and can be moderately challenging. The last half of the trail was easy so you have enough energy for the rest of the hike. Would absolutely come here again and more!
April 18, 20213 newts, 1 owl, 0 wild turkeys, 0 banana slugs. Beautiful hike with lots of steep up and downs.
April 11, 2021Worst trail we ever did in bay area.
April 10, 2021The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because I went super late in the day and had to navigate in the complete dark with the light on my phone. Moderate trail with decent incline, great scenery and wild life. I was able to see turkeys and rabbits. From my pictures you can see where I was walking with day light. I enjoyed the trail till that point, however the sun went down and it was completely dark. Started to lowkey panic Felt like I was in the Blair witch project lol. Overall still enjoyed the hike and was happy to see civilization. I would recommend this trail. During the day.
April 10, 2021I rated this trail a “4 Star” because it started from a fun day mode to a survival fun night mode. In the beginning of the day I saw many rabbits and turkeys. Throughout the night time it was a tricky situation, yet felt as if I was in a movie “The Evil Dead” moment.. Me feeling like Ash Williams by helping out my freind throughout our survival journey. Overall, it was fun!.
April 7, 2021The towering Redwoods on either side of the Canyon along trail is such a gift to experience. French and Mill offer a lot of elevation changes and some nice Oak groves.
April 5, 2021Love the shade on this hike. Lots of up and down.
April 2, 2021Shady, hilly hike
April 2, 2021Awesome! Nice hill workout
March 29, 2021Well maintained and easy to follow. Lots of poison oak so stay on the trail. :)
March 28, 2021In the future, would have started with the French leg which is more up and down than the rest of the trail, but less populated due to that arduousness. Stream finishes with a more gradual incline and a wider trail.
March 21, 2021Great hike amongst the redwoods. Spectacular
March 21, 2021March 20, 2021March 20, 2021It’s crowded but still fun.
March 19, 2021March 18, 2021March 14, 2021An amazing loop trail along a creek through a lush fern and Redwood forest.
March 14, 2021March 13, 2021March 8, 2021No views but nice woody trail
March 7, 2021Great trail. Definitely has some climbs but it’s so beautiful that it’s totally worth it.
March 7, 2021March 5, 2021Beautiful trail but get ready for lots of steep up and downs. Also about 5 miles.
March 5, 2021Endless steep hills going up and down. Not very many switchbacks. Definitely a good workout!
March 4, 2021A bit longer than stated. I would recommend doing the French trail section first as that part is harder/steeper. Really lovely and shaded.
March 2, 2021Beautiful redwoods, peaceful trails.
