Review & FAQ:

Baylands Nature Preserve, commonly referred to as the Palo Alto Baylands Nature Preserve, is the San Francisco Bay's largest remaining tract of undeveloped marshland, spanning more than 1,900 acres throughout the Palo Alto and East Palo Alto regions. The preserve is owned and operated by the City of Palo Alto and is known as one of the American West Coast's best spots for migratory bird watching. It is home to the Lucy Evans Baylands Nature Interpretive Center, which is named in honor of one of the preserve's most noted activists and offers nature exhibits and a quarter-mile public boardwalk. 15 miles of multi-use trails are offered throughout the preserve, allowing visitors to explore the park's tidal and freshwater habitats.
