Mount Tamalpais State Park

Mount Tamalpais State Park rises majestically north of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge in Marin County, offering deep canyons, redwood forests, oak woodlands, and sweeping vistas extending to the Farallon Islands, San Francisco Bay, and beyond. The park’s accessibility features include accessible parking areas, accessible restrooms, and paved level pathways in the developed areas of the park. The California State Parks Disabled Discount Pass provides a reduced day-use fee for qualifying visitors with disabilities. Service animals are welcome throughout the park.

The park’s accessible features are detailed on the California State Parks Accessible Features page, which outlines specific accessible facilities at developed areas including Pantoll Ranger Station and East Peak. Accessible picnic areas and rest areas are available. The park spans a wide range of terrain, with the most accessible facilities concentrated in the developed day-use areas. The East Peak summit area offers some of the most dramatic panoramic views and has accessible paved areas near the visitor center.

Visitors report that the paved areas near East Peak offer genuine accessibility for those with mobility limitations, with some of the best views in the Bay Area reachable without navigating steep trails. Visitors also note that outside of the developed areas, much of the terrain is rugged and steep, so it is worth checking the accessible features map before visiting to plan a route suited to your needs.
