Mountain Lake Trail traverses the southern boundary of the Presidio from the Broadway Gate to Baker Beach. This diverse trail offers visitors glimpses of Andy Goldsworthy’s Wood Line, a newly planted cypress grove, Julius Kahn Playground, and Presidio Golf Course.
Just after Mountain Lake, a new section of trail travels behind the Public Health Service District, recently revitalized as a “green” neighborhood where people live and work.
Behind the former hospital is a new boardwalk through restored dune habitat teeming with native plants and wildlife. This area also includes a vista point commemorating the historic Merchant Marine Cemetery where many sailors found their final resting place.
Continue through the Baker Beach neighborhood until the Pacific Ocean comes on the horizon.
