This short trail is really more of a lookout, offering panoramic views of the village of Mendocino from the bluffs south of the mouth of the Big River. The Mendocino Bay Viewpoint, opened to the public by the Mendocino Land Trust in 1996, was the first public access easement accepted and opened by a nonprofit organization in California. The Mendocino Land Trust has been the path for other nonprofit organizations to open and manage public access trails along the California coast.
