Quick loop hike. Well marked and easy to walk. Fairly easy to hike. Shaded areas on the left . Overall about 2 miles. Not much uphill or downhill. Mostly flat except the side trails that you can use for extra exercise. Dog and kid friendly area. Plenty of free parking available right at the entrance.
A little too many insects for my taste. I didn't enjoy the hike until we get under the trees. Next time, wear insect repellent and a hat. I really like that ancient looking tree. Overall, a good quick hike.
Nice place for short, very pretty hike or trail run. Lots of flowers this spring.
Several narrow, winding trails forming two loops of easy hikes, taking approximately an hour each. Pretty views of hills, especially at sunset. In spring, the fields are covered with wild flowers. Usually not crowded, at least not in the early evening. Dogs need to be kept on a leash.
Short on time but you want to get in a decent hike. The Deer Island Loop is your hike. Nice vista's of the Novato ridgeline; especially as the sun sets to the west. The wildlife, well, I saw not one Great Horne Owl 🦉 but two🦉🦉 in the same tree - what a hoot 😉.
