Dogs love the Bay Trail at Point Isabel in Richmond (photo by Karl Nielsen)
Dog Days
The locations listed to the right are but a handful of great places to take your dog on or near the Bay Trail. Please note however, that there are several locations where dogs are not allowed, or are not allowed at certain times of year. Our wildlife habitat is extremely important and is extremely sensitive in some areas. Dog rules are different by jurisdiction, so please plan ahead and research the regulations prior to your visit.
Crissy Field, San Francisco
Your dog will love the sand and surf at this designated off-leash beach. Includes doggie water fountain and washing station.

Welcome to dog heaven! Canines are everywhere at this shoreline park. While your dog is busy making new furry friends, you can enjoy the spectacular views of the Golden Gate Bridge and the Bay. You can also get your dog washed and groomed at the park while you grab a coffee and snack from the café.
