Love this place. I normally parked at the Don Edwards Wildlife Center. Its free.:-) Walked over the toll plaza to get to the Coyote Hills side of the park. There are many trails ranging from easy to medium to choose from. The view is awesome and changing seasonally.

Awesome views of the bay. Lots of birds. Some trails are flat, some are elevated, some sunny, some shaded behind hills. There is something for every kind of hiker. Bayview trail is paved and stroller friendly.

This is one of my favorite Bay Area parks, and as far as East Bay goes, this might be my favorite. The hills here are one of the few prominences on the entire East Bay shoreline, making it stand out whilst driving on the Dumbarton or San Mateo Bridges. The wetlands are beautiful and even include a little secret, an excavation site of the Bay Area first peoples (Ohlone Native Americans). There are trails that carve up the wetlands providing access to many scenes of wetland wildlife, from deers and birds, to fish and even sheep during grazing season. The hills contain wild turkey as well. Once atop Red Hill, youll be invited to one of the best natural views of the entire San Francisco Bay. Biking (mostly unpaved) and hiking are welcome activities in most of this park. Do yourself a favor and take a break from the Silicon Valley in this green space, you wont regret it ($5 entrance fee, but none during the pandemic, as of 9/10/20)

Without Google of yelp, we wouldnt be able to come across this little gem. Out of the city area into the wild. My wife and I was able to stroll around in an afternoon walk allowing my daughter to burn off some of her energy. Great place to chill, relax, enjoy the nature while watching birds trying to catch fishes.

Although this park is little far away from my home, I usually visit there with my kids. We can ride bikes or hike or see the several kinds of birds for two hours . There are wonderful views , cool wind, fresh smell and enough parking spaces! Please make sure wear mask and visit on weekdays better regarding with COVID-19. Happy trip and keep healthy!

Nice place for taking family/kids for hiking or biking. Several trails to choose from. Most of the trails are not shaded. Parking was challenging during Thanksgivings weekend

Good place to hike, also connects to the Alameda Creek Trail. Theres lots of waterbirds and turkeys. Sometimes you can see rabbits and foxes.

Great park to see all sorts of wild life. Birds a plenty. Great herons. Egrets and geese ducks Red tail Hawks Turkey Voltchers

I loved taking my granddaughter for her first time. Her fresh eyes made me enjoy it even more! However, It was busier than I anticipated.

A tranquil and enjoyable place to visit with family, friends, or by yourself. The web of trails to the rolling hills maybe confusion to first time visitors but no worry they all lead to the hill tops. The $5 entrance fee for cars is waived during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Perfect place to check out sunset. If you are lucky, you will see a fleet of sheep chilling on the hills. Super family and bike friendly. Awesome spot to simply take a stroll after work

I come here on average 5 times a week because I live very close, and because its an awesome park. there are trails for hiking, jogging, & cycling. on clear days the San Francisco and Oakland skylines are visible. best to come in the early morning before it gets crowded and the wind picks up.

Beautiful place. An absolute Eastbay gem. I hope they continue to preserve this place.

Excellent way to enjoy the scenery and an amazing hike. Almost Thanksgiving, turkeys are plentiful.

Nice and clean place for hiking.You can find birds, ducks, rabbits and if you are lucky than some times you can see deer.Good place # Close to Nature # Picnic # For All Age Group.

In winter, wear lot of warm clothes. There are so many birds. You can spend hours here. Parking is easily available

Nice park for walking. And it seems pretty cool for biking. There are many trails, some of them are gravel, some of them are covered by asphalt. Very few trails that go up to hills. Nice view to San Francisco Bay and even to the city, but its very far away ;). There are two parking lots that are big enough. I also saw one overflow parking.

Great park with a wide array of wildlife and scenery. Theres a good mix of paved, gravel, and dirt trails that cover every area of the park. It does get crowded on weekends, parking is currently free because of covid, and most people are wearing masks and keeping their distance.

I enjoy riding along the levees and watching the shorebirds.Just wish they would open up a bathroom.

Beautiful wetlands and great views from the hilltop. A real gem, great for a casual stroll or longer-distance exercise.Its also pretty easy to social distance in the age of coronavirus. Stay safe!

2nd time cycled in Coyote Hills. not too many hills and also not too crowded. a very good place for friends and families to hang out

This place is a hidden gem! I have lived near this place for so long but didnt discover this place til today. What a beautiful trail and scenery. Very peaceful. Its a bit secluded but still very safe. There are two parking lots. The first parking lot is free. The second parking lot is a mile down near where the trails start and its $5 so make sure you have some cash on you. I would love to come back here again and try out a different trail.

We went there for a small hike over the weekend. Its a good place for small hikes. Parking was easy to find. View from the top is amazing.

Wonderful location for hiking and getting close to nature. Except the distant sound of passing cars, it is a very serene place. Lots of birds and squirrels.

There are a long trail but you can loop back in different sections so it is good options for long and short walk. There are several hills on the way but not so much. You need to have suncream or hat if you try this trail in the summer not so much shade but windy.

Beautiful place for half a day hike or bike with the bay breeze. Hiking trail does have a lot of shades but variety of seeing from grassy hills to swamp land.

Too many trails in the hills. Not far in Fremont. Good place for people in Bay area to walk in weekend.

Great place for walking, trecking, hiking and biking.The atmosphere is pleasant... feels like youre in a mountain province. The air is fresh and cold on the skin, and it is quite windy here, dont let the pics make you think that its a warm place even though the sun is shining brightly! Dress accordingly cause youll enjoy it greatly when youre not shivering! We really enjoyed our stay. It is not quite developed like other reserves or parks, it is nature at its fullest, so you have to bring your own recreational tools like a bicycle. $5 entrance fee

This is a great park. So many opportunities to see birds and animals. The marsh area when full with water is so relaxing to walk on.

Amazing! My first time here and loved doing Muskrat Trail thru the marsh.

First time there... Great walking trails and views.

Ive been coming here since I was a kid, but it wasnt until recently I really started appreciating what I have here locally. I like coming here for a quick evening hike, or biking from home to explore a bit. Theres some options for shorter steeper hikes, longer flatter walks, areas for biking or picnicking, and some nice water/Marsh areas for exploring. Plenty of wildlife around for pictures and birdwatching. Nicest thing for me, its only 10 minutes away.

Coyote Hills is a regular hiking spot for me. I often head out this way when I need an escape from Bay Area city life. The trails are spread out over the wetlands and surrounding hills. Lots of bikers can be spotted along the road entering in. There are fantastic views of the Bay and lots of quiet spots that sit atop the smaller lakes. Wildlife can be spotted, especially birds and occasionally deer. The Visiter Center is filled with lots of history on the Native Tribes that once inhabited the area and host lots of volunteer activities and classes. My children were able to watch the park personnel feeding two of its resident snakes, and also partake in some crafting. The shop is filled with beautiful souvenirs at very affordable prices. Many great spots available for events. Be sure to check out the Butterfly Garden as well.

Very pretty. Also sheep for some reason. Maybe to feed the Coyotes

I saw the best Fall sunset Ive ever seen.

Quiet, not crowded. Nice trails for walking/biking.

There are few trails of different complexity for biking and hiking. You can climb the hills or hike around them on a plain ground. Nice bay view. Pros: this park has 2 parkings. Cons: windy and all trails are on the open sun. You need to take a water with you.

Good place for a easy hike. Very bad restrooms. Suitable for walking with kids. Best place for bike ride. Beautiful scenic views. There is no tree, so no shadows. I dont recomment for hiking in summer or you should plan accordingly. You should take water and food. Parking space is there.

This is an open space so it could be better for winter hiking than summer. Most Trails are easy for everyone to walk. This park makes peaceful impression. There are a lot of different “birds” living here, which is great for bird photography.

One of the good place to go nearby for Fremont/ Union City residents. Small hikes and good view.

Always great sights. Semi dog friendly. Depending when you go, you may be able to steal some off leash time. Nice boardwalk thru the pond. Lots of parking places and i dont park where everyone else does, and ive never been ticketed, bothered or towed. Happy trails yall!!

Great place for hiking,biking and running..several trails available. Be prepared for the stench emitting from the water due to algae and salt formation

Really beautiful spot. A place of calm in amongst the busy San Francisco Bay area. Hummingbird spotted so I was delighted

I really liked the ease of the trail going out on the water. This is a nice place to get some fresh air. Great for a bike ride. I hadnt explored the hills area of the park but there is a beautiful boardwalk deck path that takes you through the marsh. Its really relaxing. When you want to clear your mind its a good place to take a walk. There are nice shaded picnic areas for you to have a bite to eat after your nice walk so bring some food.

Very quite, small group of people enjoying hike including bicycle. Hill and bay together with fresh air walking.

This is an amazing place with multiple breathtaking views and landscapes.. there are many bike trails and you can enjoy the beauty of this place either biking through the hills with the bay on one side or walking through the park. You also might get to see many birds , deer , rabbits, pelicans , ducks , beavers , seagulls .. there is a lot to explore here and definitely worth your time ! :)

A wonderful place to take a walk/hike! There are both moderate, as well as easy trails. Most of the trails, are relatively flat, some with some incline. Hart imagine, over the summer, it would be pretty hot, there arent many places for shade. The one frustrating part, was getting in, there was a line of cars just to get in for the afternoon. If you dont mind a walk, you can park outside the park, and walk all the way in.

A wonderful, windy day for a visit to this park. So many trails, a few under repair or closed for various reasons. The view of the SF Bay is down right gorgeous. You could see from San Jose to SF and Oakland.Parking fees are collected through a kiosk, $5 to park, $2 for dogs or you can park off Ardenwood and walk into the park.

Interesting place. Nice for walking between reeds, some hills, lot of water, and birds. A little forgotten right next to the Dumbarton Bridge.

A very popular hiking spot in the middle of East Bay. It has few miles of trails with moderate activity level. Lots of birds to see and photograph. It is connected to the Bay trail so biking is also allowed in few trails. This park is beautiful year around and requires $5 fee for entering with a car.

Such a nice place for a walk. Can go around with a stroller

Breathtaking views and awesome place for family outing. It is also easy hike with kids.

This is my favorite regional park! Its the reason I got an East Bay regional park membership . Ive been at least 5 times and still can explore trails that I havent been on. You will see birds, turkeys, snakes, ducks, deer and more!

Calm and Good place with less crowded. Recommend this place for outdoor photo shoots. Long walking trail. We saw snakes in the park, so please be extra cautious.

A treasure in the Tri-City area. Nice trails with a great view of the bay and stroller-friendly too. Parking tends to get full on weekends.

The park is currently not charging any entrance fee. There are a lot of trails to choose. You can walk or bike through the trails. The only downside to this park is the algal bloom by the lakeside. It smells pretty funny while traversing the trail.

A great regional park to go hiking at. There are a variety of trails and paths to hike or bike on. A few trails are flat and cut through the marsh lands and some climb the hills in the park and offer some great views. About 2/3rds of the trails are dirt and mostly for hiking and about 1/3rd are paved and for walking or biking.

Best place to spend your weekend if you like walking and trekking. Its beautiful in monsoon. Enough paid parking space inside ($5 approx). There is free parking ten mins before the actual park. Dont leave valuables in your car if parking in free space. Visitors center is quite in. Check their timings if you wish to explore. ( Recently In the month of April on Friday there was no parking fee :-)) They had put an extra board for that.

Beautiful during spring! Not too crowded, and can make for a decent workout or a casual hike. Also has some good bike trails.

Really clean and its great for biking, hiking, running, stargazing and anything outdoors, nice view

Short family hike with our younger dog. About 4 miles for the Bayview Trail. Bring a small trash bag and you can help keep it pristine by picking up after others!

A popular park to walk, hike, run, bike with many trails to challenge oneself.

Good for walks but some of the trails REALLY smell like sulfur

There is a great horn owl family behind the visitor center. You can find them everyday at sunset time.

This is an amazing place with multiple breathtaking views and landscapes.

Great hiking and views, although could use some more parking. There was a sign that said parking was full, but when walked from the outside lot, there were many spaces available. COVID related?

Good flat trails. Nice for walking.

If they ever dredged the pond here, they will find my Samsung Galaxy S6. Sweet little spot though. Nice easy to moderate hiking trails. $5 to park. I have taken some pictures of deer here. So cute. Lol.

This is a great place for a walk. You can park about a half mile from the entrance for free or you can pay to park inside. Either way, there are great trails to discover. Keep in mind, not all areas allow access for your dog.

Nice walk. All kinds if ya want to hike or bike. Also when you get high enough you can see the USS Thompson ship sunk out in the bay.

Absolutely beautiful park, may variations of trails to hit. I loved the benches that overlooked the bay. Even came across a rafter of turkeys !

The views are beautiful and the ambience peaceful. Cyclists abound. The smell is a little strong sometimes.

Enjoy casual time with beautiful California poppy.

A hidden treasure located near the Dumbarton Bridge. There are several trails suitable for medium level exercise. You could watch the Dumbarton, even San Mateo Bridge upon climbing up the hilltop. Do not miss the wooden Bridge across the several ponds. Great escape for a oneday getaway.

The trails over the hills are the best!!! Great thigh and bun burners. Dog loved the walk as well!!! We zig zagged thru all the trails in about 2 hours.

Oh coyote hills! How I love meandering through your walking paths around the hills that hug the bay from the eastern side. A personal favorite is walking through the flat trails around the marshlands. I love listening for birds, crickets, and frogs. Many days I will spot deer, squirrels and sometimes the sheep if they are out in the pastures grazing. Coyote hills is a true gem of the East Bay Regional Parks. Visit my YouTube video featuring Coyote Hills at #PowerHouseRealtor. go around dinner time, and perhaps you will catch a spectacular sunset

Quiet place to go for a quick break from the city. Trails are well maintained and good for beginner hikers. Very windy and sometimes the bay water may stink a bit. Best time to go is right after the rain in spring when the wildflowers are blooming.

Amazing sunsets from the trail, and was able to catch the moon rise too (night before full moon).

Beautiful place for a hike. There isnt much shade so bring water with you.

It is a good place for photography, but it has a strong smell!

I went there on a sunny day in winter and it was beautiful. I think it would be too hot to visit in summer. Dogs are allowed. I love this park and my dog loves it.

Loved the weather and day time spending at this state park, good knowledgeable staff at visitor center of this park with knowledge about the California King snake, other snakes and trails...

Beautiful place to quickly get away. I went during a week day and it was easy to find parking and there were few people on the trails.

Nice place with a managed beach with restrooms. Fishing from the shore and a handicap accessible ramp. Lots of open space and open parking.

This park is a diamond in the ruff. Its in the city but you feel in the country! Has loots of trail to hike or mountain bike, a informative center that educates you about it local history and wild life. Its a great quick city escape.

A beautiful relaxed hike overlooking the Dumbarton bridge area. Definitely worth a trip. Just look at the pictures!

Great trails. Beautiful views at sunset and sundown

Nice visitors center with taxidermy and Native American tools and dioramas. Also has plenty of brochures of all the parks in the area, along wkth pamphlets for sale that identify local trees, birds, wildflowers, etc.Trails are generally easy to moderate. Not too much elevation gain, but you still get nice views of the bay and pretty marshland. Lots of pretty rolling hills.Have only hiked but planning to come back and bike their extensive paved and dirt trails.Wildlife includes loads of birds, deer, and we have even seen turkeys (with baby turkeys!)Dogs not allowed in marshland.

Wild poppies, windy hills, and wonderful views of the Bay. We took a toddler and she did some of the hike on her own two feet, though some trails can be quite steep. Also saw wild turkeys here, and a butterfly vivarium with Monarch caterpillars and chrysalises.

Good place to have a nice afternoons here.

So green in the winter! Great trails!

Such a pretty place. Has some hills and long stretches of flat area. Great for biking, hiking, or jogging! Some areas smell really nasty because of the marsh land but worth it to go anyway. Great trails here in all directions!

Absolutely amazing in the morning. Plan to see birds and deer.

Such a beautiful park. Great flat trails through the reeds, great hill trails with sweeping bay views. Excellent birding, biking, picnicking options. Visitor center is excellent and well staffed, with clean bathrooms.

Nice park with long trails along or even in the bay (which you can smell). The salt evaporation ponds are cool from a distance but can be not to lovely. They have some unexpected trail closures.

Beautiful place to go for a stroll, run, or a bike ride. I wish I was a watcher because there are a lot of different birds to see out there.

Nice outdoors place, okay for canoe and fishing.

Lovely easy hikes. Great view of the marshes. Nice place for quick short hikes / biking. Salt pans too

Great place to visit and enjoy nature.

Nice place for hiking. Trails are not difficult and heigh difference is not too big. But there Bay view is good. Free parking is quite far.
