Hikes in Wildcat Canyon Regional Park
1 Jan 2012
Wildcat Canyon Regional Park has trails over rolling hills providing great views of San Francisco Bay, San Pablo Bay and San Pablo Reservoir. In late spring and early summer, the valleys are lush green. By the end of summer, the hills turn brown.

Best Months to Visit: All trails are in the open. So avoid summers. Spring time is best to see green rolling hills.

Notes:

  1. Nimitz way is paved throughout.
  2. Almost the entire length of Wildcat Creek Trail is paved. However, it is shown as 'Multiple Use Unpaved' road on the trail map.
  3. The junction of Wildcat Peak Trail and Sylvan Trail was unmarked in May 2011.
  4. Hikes that go through adjacent Tilden Park would use trails shown in Trail Map for Tilden Nature Area and
