Lake Lagunitas Loop - Mt Tam Trails


Mountain biking around Lake Lagunitas is great but every once in awhile it's nice to hike around the lake with your kids and enjoy the serenity of the area. With temperatures in the high 60s, today was a great day to explore the paths and understand hikers' perspectives of mountain bikers -- all of whom passed us today where incredibly considerate.

We began our hike just outside of Fairfax, CA. Take Sir Francis Drake to Bolinas Road and then follow the signs for Lake Lagunitas. Take a left on Sky Oaks Rd and continue to the last parking lot. Hike up through the camping area next to the man-made waterfall, cross the dam, hike past the house, and follow the trails around the lake, including crossing three bridges, which my kids really loved. This is mountain-biking paradise. You can find information about mountain biking trails at http://www.marinfattire.com/. Enjoy!
