Miller Knox Regional Shoreline is a 307-acre picnic area that can be found right along Richmond’s shoreline. The park offers visitors an array of features and amenities such as a fishing pier, a secluded cove with swimming beach, a model railroad museum, and a historic hilltop which, once you’re there, will give you panoramic views of the north Bay Area. You’ll love having a peaceful picnic on the tree-shaded lawn overlooking the saltwater lagoon, taking a walk through the mile-long trail loop, or seeing the local flora and fauna. Anglers can try to catch popular species such as perch, striped bass, sand dab, and flounder from the park’s fishing pier.
