Good exercise area. Good views of water. Many locals use the several mile paved trail for daily exercise.
This is a beautiful spot to walk and take in the scenery. There are foot paths to take as well as a exercise circuit. At the point there is a beautiful view of the city and the water. At the point lots of folks drop their lines in the water for fishing. There is also various picnic areas with the large picnic area in the middle of the park. In addition there are hiking trails in the hills that can take you from Benicia to Glen Cove area.
i like to bike ride out to the point, rarely , roller blading the surface is not good for but , it is not a very long distance , you do not have to park inside the park you can park on K street or maybe Military West, down toward the park and ride the bike,,once you are on the trail in the park , there are no cars it is surfaced ok for a bike and relatively flat for a maybe 5 mile ride, Mostly pleasant , not so close to the water that it is like along the water exactly. At the end you can go down the hill by the water, at the shore line below the building at the end.
It is a nice 22 mile round trip from our house across the Benicia bridge, through downtown and into the State park. The trail is good and the views are awesome. The fact that there is a picnic table and a bathroom at the turnaround point makes the trip enjoyable.
This restaurant is consistent in producing delicious Japanese meals. Lunch and dinner times can be very busy and I suggest making a reservation if you don't want to risk having to wait for a table. You can sit at the sushi bar or a table, or order food to take out. This restaurant is worth checking out.
This is close to our house and convenient. It is mostly a flat walk--rare in our hilly Benicia. You won't reach a bathroom till after more than a mile. The Native Plant Garden is wonderful and we used knowledge of plants there to help us plant natives in our yard. Lovely views and picnic tables available.
Leave your car outside the Park to avoid the $6 fee. Paved road to end. Lots of people walking, biking, dog walking. Very safe. Picnic tables are available. Will need to drive if you have lots of food, etc.
This is one of my favorite parks for walking with a fabulous view. There are miles of pathways, some that go out to Dillon's Point, where you can look East and West as the Straits meet the Bay.This is the brackish water that mixes the salt water from the Pacific with the fresh water from the Sacramento River. There are white and grey egrets in the water, and turkey vultures high above.There is parking in the park or out on the streets nearby.
The state park is a great place to walk, bike, run and explore! Beautiful sights of the bay and marsh.
I love riding out to the point and back at the state park. It is a wonderful 5 mile workout with great scenery along the way.
