Easy Hike at Shoreline Lake Park

Sunday, May 31, 2026, 11:00am to 1:30pm
Shoreline Park, Mountain View (Front Country) Rating: 1A1 (3 miles, 50 feet)

Join us for a late morning easy hike or walk and optional meal afterwards.

This is a short, easy hike or walk with a possible meal at Michael’s café afterwards. We start from the entrance in front of the lobby of Michael’s Bar and Grill which is located at 2960 N. Shoreline Blvd. Mountain View, CA 94040 at Shoreline Park in Mountain View. From there, we cross the parking lot and walk over a bridge to follow Shoreline Lake. We pass Rengstorff House, an historical building, as well as the docking area on the lake. We turn right where construction closes the lakeside path and head to a paved multiuse trail that borders on the reclaimed Mountain View tidal marsh. We join the Bay Trail and continue following the marshlands for another mile and a half or so, walking along the bay for a while. This is an out and back walk or hike, so we turn around and retrace our steps. The surfaces are mostly paved. When we get back to Michael’s, we can get a sandwich, salad, or similar meal at the restaurant at the end of the hike (optional).

Bring plenty of water, a hat, and sunscreen as the entire hike is exposed with no shade. Bring a snack and/or a credit card or
cash if you would like a meal or snack at Michael’s. The total time will vary, depending on getting a meal or snack afterwards.
Rain cancels. Hope to see you there.
