Dumbarton Bridge Vista Point and Trail

Nice and quiet place to see wildlife. There are a lot of birds in the ponds. You can also learn about the ponds, the bridge and the aqueduc that was used to convey water to the Bay up until 2014. Probably not worth a long drive but nice to visit if you are around.

Trail in the heart of silicone valley.. Has great parking 🅿️ spot, public toilet, the sign board says no fishing and no pet! Somehow people are still fishing 🎣 great view of sunset and Dumbarton bridge, perfect for short and long walk...must visit place...

It gives you a great view to the Eastern shore of the bay. There are parking spaces on both sides of the bridge and it

Nice view of the bay. Very flat but completely unshaded. There is a mobile restroom which can save some emergencies.😀 A little too short. Saw lots of swallows when I was there. Also saw an osprey. The view of Dumbarton Bridge was great, too. Lots of parking. Very light traffic.
