Central Marin County has some of the Bay Area’s most gorgeous parks and green spaces. From the towering redwoods of Muir Woods to those wild, sweeping views on Mount Tamalpais, there’s a little something for anyone who loves being outside. Marin County Parks manages more than 18,500 acres across 39 parks and 34 open space preserves, so you’ll never run out of trails to hike, bike, or new spots to swim and just hang out.
The center of Marin has Hal Brown Park in Greenbrae and Mill Valley’s web of trails that wander up into Mount Tamalpais State Park. San Rafael’s McNear’s Beach Park is great for families—there’s a mellow swimming area—and Baltimore Canyon Preserve has those cool, shady redwood hikes you dream about. These parks feel like a real escape, yet they’re never too far from town.
