George Miller Regional Trail

Park Features: With a scenic drive and varying landscapes, this unique parkland has something for everyone. The hiking trails offer views of the strait and surrounding hills. The valley offers perches and nest sites for the red-tailed hawk, golden eagle and other bird species. Plant species found at the shoreline are typical of annual grassland and coastal vegetation. There are no reservable picnic or camping areas but there are plenty of areas to explore. The recently restored scenic drive that stretches high above the shoreline offers views of bluffs and passing ships; it has quickly become a local favorite. Trail Highlights: The newly restored George Miller Trail is a multi-use trail that provides breathtaking views of the Carquinez Strait along the entire route. The smooth path can accommodate hikers, cyclists, wheelchairs, and skaters. Picnic tables along the trail provide the opportunity to take a lunch break while enjoying the view. There is a restroom at the trail’s staging area, but no water, so be sure to come prepared. Trail Directions: George Miller Regional Trail is at the end of Carquinez Scenic Dr. near Port Costa. Park in the small Port Costa Staging area and walk to trail entrance. The trail is 1.98 miles from end to end. When you reach the end, turn around and retrace your steps back to where you parked.
