Drakes Head Trail (together with Estero Trail distance is about 15 km / 9.4 mi.)
is a narrow branch off Estero Trail often covered by grass and can be a little hard to find in the rainy season when the grass grows fast.
This trail through open grassland offers outstanding views of Drakes and Limantour Esteros, and of the locally rich bird life. The last section of the trail seems more like a cattle trail than a human trail, but persevere. Many visitors enjoy having a picnic on Drakes Head. The view down into the Estero on a clear day is spectacular with 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.
This trail combination is one of the longest offroad trails 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); here a loop tour option with more highlights and photos komoot.de/tour/13627076 To get here, allow 25 minutes driving time by car from Bear Valley, or about 40 minutes by bike.
