New Maps Show the Way
To Enjoying the Bay

Bay Trail MapsOver 230 miles of the Bay Trail are ready for exploration by walkers, bicyclists, rollerbladers, bird watchers and others attracted to the edge of the Bay. Where to start? The Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) has just updated its series of detailed Bay Trail maps and guides. The full-color maps (one for each of six subregions) detail the trail alignment, points of interest and trail characteristics. Route recommendations on the back of each map include descriptions of the trail experience, parking locations and transit access. (For trail highlights, see story.)

The Bay Trail Project...
is a nonprofit organization housed in and staffed by the Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG). MTC and ABAG share administrative costs, with MTC contributing $140,000 annually from toll bridge revenues. The California Coastal Conservancy also has a major role in supporting and funding the Bay Trail.
The maps sell for $4 each or $15 for the set (including shipping and handling), and are available by calling 510.464.7900 or visiting www.baytrail.org or your local bookstore. You can also purchase at ABAG, located at the Joseph P. Bort MetroCenter, 101 Eighth Street, Oakland. PDF versions of the maps are available at the Bay Trail Web site listed above.
