Flock together for a lovely walk along the marshes of Bair Island while viewing the flamboyant colors of a California sunset! The walk will be an easy 0.8 mile stroll along the marsh at Bair Island. This event is FREE!

Come view the sunset on our walking tour around the charming marshlands of Bair Island. Many birds and other wildlife species make an appearance at dusk. This walk creates the perfect opportunity for wildlife viewing. While strolling along the trail, you will learn about the fascinating history of the area, local wildlife species, and what you can do to contribute to the health of this important ecosystem. Bring your binoculars or borrow a pair of ours.

Public restrooms and drinking fountains are available in the Bair Island parking lot. Parking is free.

This easy walk will be on a dirt path with no elevation gain. We will gather at the welcome table and walk to the observation deck, 0.4 miles away. The entrance to the trail and observation deck are accessible via ramps. Please bring warm clothes as it quickly gets cold after the sun sets.

Please note that dogs are not allowed at Bair Island, and all minors must be accompanied by an adult for the entirety of the walk.

This program is brought to you by the San Francisco Bay Wildlife Society(SFBWS), in partnership with US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS), Electronic Arts (EA), and Cargill.
