KQED has an article on Best Bay Area Accessible Hiking Trails Recommended by Disability Advocates
These accessible trails around the region are particularly recommended by our experts:
- Samuel P. Taylor State Park in Marin County has a shaded 4-mile, round-trip trail that also has beautiful camping spots.
- Dr. Aurelia Reinhardt Redwood Regional Park up in the Oakland Hills is a great spot to escape the heat during the summer. The Stream Trail is particularly accessible.
- Tilden Regional Park has the accessible Nimitz Way, which can get fairly exposed in summer but is cool when there’s a nice breeze.
- Coyote Hills Regional Park packs a variety of experiences. It’s along the coast, so you can enjoy those views. More inland, you can do some birding.
- Half Moon Bay has a beautiful trail along the beach, with a long trail you can spend more time on.
- Coyote Creek Trail is paved, starting in Morgan Hill and ending in San José.
- The Bay Trail is another one Lewkowicz recommends, as most of it is paved and easily accessed.
