Travel a gentle path through Benicia State Recreation Area, along the Carquinez Strait waterfront towards the Benicia-Martinez Bridge
ACTIVITIES
Where the Bay Area Ridge Trail splits at Benicia State Recreation Area, head east towards the Benicia-Martinez Bridge on the Carquinez Strait Scenic Loop Trail. Take a trip through Mexican and early California history on this route, which follows the waterfront through the thriving town of Benicia. Enjoy brisk breezes and occasional fog as you watch the San Joaquin and Sacramento Rivers funnel into San Francisco Bay. This route travels mostly level trails, including sidewalks, paved and unpaved trails, and footpaths.
