Shoreline paths and the mountain reflected across the water.

Planning, access and history
Loop scale
The Trail Association describes a roughly seven-mile loop with little climbing and leashed dogs allowed. Shore walks remain possible when the seasonal delta connection is absent.
Bridge status
The delta bridges are seasonal. The county page’s visible removal notice is dated November 8, 2024; the trail guide also has an older January note. Neither establishes today’s crossing status. Confirm with the county before planning a loop.
