In 2008 a new section of the San Francisco Bay Trail was opened in Hayward. A 2.75 mile trail runs on levees along former salt ponds south of Hwy 92. This is the Eden Landing Ecological Reserve. More than 600 acres of former salt ponds are being restored to tidal flow. This will turn these ponds into tidal marshes, providing habitats for fish and wildlife, like the endangered clapper rail and salt marsh harvest mouse. The ponds are part of the 15,100-acre South Bay Salt Pond Restoration Project. The Bay Trail along the edge of the project is managed by the East Bay Regional Park District, but the property is owned by the California Department of Fish & Game. Duck hunting is allowed on the ponds at certain times, when the trail will be closed to the general public, but open to duck hunters. Volunteers with Save the Bay have been working with the DF&G to restore the habitat by establishing native vegetation and controlling non-natives along the perimeter of the ponds.
