Point Pinole Regional Shoreline

Short Loop Trails

Short loop trail walks provide opportunities to enjoy the beauty of nature on a relatively non-strenuous walk on trails and pathways in the Regional Parks. These walks are suitable for senior citizens, persons in wheelchairs, parents with small children or with children in strollers. Please read the full description of each hike before you plan your walk. While most trails are gentle, some may have rough or narrow sections or steeper climbs. There are bicycle and dog restrictions in some of the parklands.
