Bair Island Trail

A panorama view of Bair Island Trail located on Don Edwards NWR. Bair Island is located within Don Edwards San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex. The complex consists of seven refuges spanning over 125 miles and 11 counties, the protected habitats and wildlife found here are just as diverse as the urban communities surrounding them. The Refuge manages over 30,000 acres of public lands, 38 miles of trails, a Visitor Center, and an Environmental Education Center, all adjacent to multiple ethnically and economically diverse communities. Created in 1972, largely as the result of grassroots efforts by the local community, Don Edwards San Francisco Bay NWR was one of the first, and today remains our nation’s largest Urban National Wildlife Refuge.
