Wildcat Canyon Regional Park

Love this hike with my dog! Expect some incline but just enough to get a good view of the bay. You can also see a lot of wildlife if you go at the right times.

Nice park for little hiking. Some hills for a small challenge. Good views of bay area.

This place is such a gem! There are so many different areas to explore and it’s a great spot to go running. Parking can get really busy on the weekends so I would suggest parking on the street near the neighborhoods and walking into the park. I would also suggest sunscreen and plenty of water if you were planning to do the entire hike! The trail is really open and can get really sunny.

The paved portion of the trail is so spacious and wide as well as the hiking paths. It’s one of the reasons I keep coming back to this spot since hiking paths can feel so narrow to me.

I use to drive to Mission Peak every weekend based on the intensity and thrill of that hike. All until I discovered Wildcat with an equal intensity plus thrill fulfilled here.

I enjoy how you can customize your outdoor gym on this trail. There are many entrances and routes to take. Whether hiking, cycling, walking, running…it’s a trail for all ages. Plenty of rest stops, gorgeous views, inclines if you’re looking for them. You’ll encounter wildlife of cows, horses, hares, deer, birds, snakes, coyotes and goats too. It’s a new adventure every time.

Excellent hiking with dogs off-leash. Beautiful views of San Pablo Bay and the San Francisco skyline. Miles of alternative paths with definite vertical challenges. Abundant parking with a rest room at the staging area. 4.7 miles on Wildcat Creek Trail to the Tilden Park parking lot.
