Trail Description:
Abbots Lagoon is located on the north west shores of Pt. Reyes.
It
is a beautiful 1.3 mile fairly level trail out to the ocean through
dune and marsh habitat. Not only is the area rich in wildflowers, but a
variety of marsh and shore birds are present as well.
Trail Location:
From Hwy 1, go west on Sir Francis Drake
Blvd. (SFDB) about 8 miles to Pierce Point Road. The road sort of splits here
with Pierce Point being the right leg. About 3 miles on the left is
the parking lot for Abbots Lagoon.
