Estero Trail to the bridge across Home Bay (3.2 km / 2 mi., or 15 km if done together with the Drakes Head Trail komoot.de/highlight/198014 )
This relatively easy trail through open grassland and an old Christmas tree farm offers excellent birdwatching opportunities and the possibility of seeing bat rays and leopard sharks swimming just below the water's surface. A couple of weeks after the first fall rains it becomes a popular mushroom hunting destination.
Taken together with the continuation to Drakes Head Treal this is the longest offroad trail in the park open to bicycles. It begins at the Estero Trailhead, which is located a short distance off of Sir Francis Drake Blvd (on the way to the Lighthouse).
To get here, allow 25 minutes driving time by car from Bear Valley, or about 40 minutes by bike.
