Bird Walk Coastal Access Trail is a 1.19-mile trail that is a prime regional site for bird watching, encircling two freshwater ponds and a marshland area along its route that serve as important habitats for waterfowl and shorebirds. The trail is accessible from Doran Regional Park by a pedestrian bridge along the Cheney Creek Trail, with a separate trailhead available from a parking lot located along Highway 1. It is a generally flat gravel trail that provides moderate access for wheelchair users, allowing visitors to observe coastal birds in their natural habitats as it loops over the saltwater marsh region. A variety of special events are offered along the trail by the Sonoma County Regional Parks Department, including Winging It Wednesday guided bird watching excursions.
