Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve

Bounded by Mountain View and East Palo Alto, the 1,940-acre Baylands Nature Preserve is the largest tract of undisturbed marshland remaining in the San Francisco Bay. Fifteen miles of multi-use trails provide access to a unique mixture of tidal and fresh water habitats. Dogs are permitted only on leash and under physical control at all times, unless posted against entry in special nesting areas. If you would like to exercise your dog off-leash, visit the dog parks at Mitchell Park and Peers Park in Palo Alto. Please remember to pick up after your dogs.
