What to expect on Corte Madera - Larkspur Path – Corte Madera–Larkspur Pathway loop from Strawberry
This loop offers a journey through varied terrain and scenery, primarily following the flat, wide, and mostly paved Corte Madera–Larkspur Pathway, though you might encounter some packed dirt sections. As you jog, you'll enjoy picturesque creekside views along Corte Madera Creek, pass through vibrant marsh ecosystems, and catch expansive vistas of the San Francisco Bay and Mount Tamalpais. Keep an eye out for local wildlife like herons and egrets, especially in the marsh areas. The route also takes you past Hal Brown-Creekside Park and offers glimpses of the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge near the bay.

Planning your visit

While the pathway is well-maintained, there are generally no bathrooms directly on the path, so plan accordingly. The route is enjoyable year-round, but spring and fall offer particularly pleasant weather for jogging. Parking is available in the Strawberry area, but it's always a good idea to arrive early on weekends to secure a spot.
