Very nice and flat hiking trail over the bay where you can enjoy the nature and watch a lot of birds. The view at the sunset is amazing, but you have to enter the parking before closing hours. Make sure to check the open trails since some trails are closed due to construction work.

A beautiful place to take a scroll and enjoy the scenic views. The trail is mostly flat with no shades. I went on a weekend with nice weather. There was little wind and the park was surprisingly empty. On a good weather day, the salt pond has beautiful refraction and reflection. The water presents a dreamy layer of many shades of red/pink/orange and the still water reflects the mountains like a mirror.

The spot is really quite cool, but it could do with some additional clarity around the walking paths that go around the ponds. While the park itself is very small it opens into probably 20 miles worth of trails, some of which have fallen into the ponds and some that are under construction. We walked about 4 miles when we realized the final mile of our loop was under repair and not accessible, which was a big bummer. Cool area tho and we got our steps in.

One of my favorite parks for biking and walking. The parking lot is busy during the weekend when weather is good. There’s a restroom next to the parking lot. As of Jan 8, 2022, the road is blocked at some point (see the red arrow on my photo please) so you are unable to pass it. Planning ahead accordingly.

8AM to Sunset arround the year. During summer it could be 9 PM or during fall it could be 5 PM. Don't wait until it's dark. They maintain official sunset time and close the gate. If you have to stay little more than park your car on the street before entering park.
