    Tips

    Road cycling

    Great paved bike trail through a shaded area with several great viewpoints across the bay.

    January 9, 2024

    Mountain biking

    Carquinez Scenic Drive, a once popular roadway for cars, has been closed since the 1980s due to landslides that caused damages. However, the former road has now been transformed into a beautiful paved park trail in the Carquinez Regional Shoreline Reserve on the east, and a well-rebuilt paved bike path on the west of the oil dock. The trail is a great spot for biking and offers a shaded area with several scenic viewpoints that overlook the stunning bay.
