Strawberry Hill

Andrew Hink

I liked this hike so much, I did it twice. Great view of the city and the GG Bridge. Moderate difficulty, but I saw some dogs and a bunch of kids doing the hike as well. Make sure you don’t rush. Find your balance. Bring plenty of water. And enjoy!

This hill is surrounded by the Stow Lake, and seem to be very well preserved to keep it's natural state. You will find some peace and quiet climbing up this little hill. There you will find the reservoir that is the head water of the Huntington Fall. There are a lot of squirrels around, bring some nuts and you can make them run around like crazy.

Nice little hike in the middle of the lake. It got me a bit winded, but the view was worth it. Super foresty/nature filled. Sadly, I did not see any of the butterflies BUT I still left satisfied :)

So much to see without spending a penny. We park (for free) along Stow Lake Drive and walk the path to cross Rustic (Boulder) Bridge, which rowboats & paddle boats pass under. An easy, relatively flat walk on the island/hill goes past the Golden Gate (Chinese) pavilion and then to the base of Huntington Falls. Or you can trek up to the top of Strawberry Hill for a distant view of the Golden Gate bridge. Take a picnic and stay awhile. Then walk down the stairs that go along side Huntington Falls. Many photo opportunities of birds, plants, water. Especially peaceful on weekdays!
