Another leg of the Meadowlark Trail is a dirt path that runs along the edge of the South Marsh. The No Name Trail, which is outside the regional park on lands belonging to the San Francisco Bay National Wildlife Refuge, is a dirt levee trail that heads due west along the salt pond levee from the junction of the Apay Way, Meadowlark, and Bayview Trails. The No Name Trail eventually reaches San Francisco Bay at the junction with the Shoreline Trail. The Shoreline Trail, also on refuge lands, runs along San Francisco Bay for over 4 miles from the mouth of Alameda Creek to the Dumbarton Bridge. Unfortunately, the Shoreline Trail is currently closed due to trail maintenance.
Trails run over the hills.
The Coyote Hills are not very high, compared to the East Bay foothills, reaching only 291 feet at Red Hill Summit, but because they are surrounded by flat land for miles, they provide spectacular panoramic views of the Bay Area. The Red Hill Trail runs down the spine of the hills. It is quite steep in places. The Red Hill Trail is crossed by the Nike Trail, the Soaproot Trail, and the Glider Hill Trail.
