WHERE:
Martin Luther King, Jr. Regional Preserve, Arrowhead Marsh

Accessibility: Yes for wheelchairs and walkers

Description
A ramped observation deck looks out over the 50 acre salt marsh. There are restrooms. The easy walk along this tidal Arrowhead Marsh (great for wintering and migrating water birds at this time of year) can be extended for longer, faster walkers - paved and level. While it is 3.7 miles out and back, we will accommodate a much shorter walk. Easy to turn around at any point, so great for all skill levels. The tide will be coming up, so we may see birds. Walkers can go at their own pace and distance. Walk leaders will accompany, as needed.

While we need it! Rain cancels!

Where to meet
We will meet at the second parking lot on the left on the access road which is reached at 1 Swan Road, Oakland.

What to bring
Binoculars if you have them, good hiking shoes or boots, layered clothing for variable weather, water and snack. Hiking poles are optional - trail is paved and flat. Bring your cell phone if you have one.
