Seal Slough (Marina Lagoon)

Highlight (Segment) • River

Seal Slough, or Marina Lagoon is a narrow tidal channel through salt‑marsh wetlands. It begins at the San Mateo Bay shoreline and winds east into Foster City. It is home to dense cordgrass, pickleweed, and mudflats, as well as invertebrates, fish, and the endangered California clapper rail. Bikers can enjoy the paved Bay Trail segment that follows the slough’s east bank.

Bay Trail on Foster City Levee

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

An excellent paved section of the Bay Trail circles around Foster City along the bay, not the shortest but probably the fastest and more interesting route than the alternative along roads branching off here through the center of Foster city.

Hayward Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

In contrast to the Dumbarton Bridge crossing the South Bay more than 12 miles further south, this bridge, part of the 4 lane Highway 92, unfortunately does not have a bike lane.

Highlight • Beach

From here on the Foster City Bay Trail, or the San Francisco Bay Trail, you can access Beach Park, a lovely waterfront park with beach access, trails, and views across the water to Hayward and of the San Mateo-Hayward Bridge. This is a great place to stop as you ride around the area.
