Come view the sunset on our walking tour around the charming marshlands of Bair Island. Many birds and other wildlife species make an appearance at dusk. While strolling along the trail, you will learn about the fascinating history of the area, local wildlife species, and what you can do to contribute to the health of this important ecosystem. Bring your binoculars or borrow a pair of ours.
A drinking fountain is available in the Bair Island parking lot. Parking is free.
This easy walk will be on a dirt path with no elevation gain. We will gather at the seal dedication statue and walk to the observation deck, 0.4 miles away. The entrance to the trail is accessible via ramps. Please bring warm clothes as it quickly gets cold after the sun sets.
Please note:
- Public restrooms are NOT open at this time.
- The observation deck is NOT open at this time.
- Pets are not allowed at Bair Island.
- All minors must be accompanied by an adult for the entirety of the walk.
