About McLaughlin Eastshore State Park

The park stretches from Richmond through Albany, Berkeley, and Emeryville to Oakland, ending near the east end of the Bay Bridge. Its tidelands include marshes and mudflats, and its uplands sit largely on fill placed into the bay. Some sections are open for day use such as hiking, biking, and birding. The San Francisco Bay Trail is planned to connect the full length of the park. Collecting or destroying anything in the park is prohibited.
