Hazelnut Trail

The thick vegetation of Hazelnut Trail offers a good survey of native flora. The trail links the valleys of the South and the Middle Forks at a considerable elevation and enjoys views of the Montara Mountain side, the Pacific Ocean, Sweeney Ridge, and the expansive valleys of the park. Horses are welcome.

Brooks Creek Trail

Brooks Creek Trail offers views of Brooks Falls as it drops 175 feet in three tiers during the rainy months of winter and spring. The trail forms a 2.2-mile loop with Montara Mountain Trail.

Skyline Trail

The Skyline Trail is part of the Bay Area Ridge Trail. It’s lower end is at the intersection of Ranch/Stadler Roads outside Wunderlich Park boundaries, though most would leave the Skyline Trail at “The Crossroads” to continue down to the parking lot. There are two benches at “The Crossroads”. The Skyline Trail tops out at Skyline Blvd, with MROSD’s El Corte Madera Creek OSP across the Blvd.

Redwood Trail

The Redwood Trail, as the name implies, goes threw a mixed forest dominated by redwoods. It can be used to add .6mi to the loop described in the “Madrone Trail” section above for a 3.2-mile loop.

Oak Trail

The Oak Trail is Wunderlich’s shortest trail, but you have to use 1.5 miles of other trails to get to it! It is another trail deserving of its name, gently rolling through an oak woodland, nearly absent of redwoods and fir trees.

Meadow Trail

The Meadow Trail offers the only hike through “The Meadows” (Wunderlich’s only substantial grassland). It offers multiple benches and a vista point overlooking the southern half of San Francisco Bay.

Magic Mountain Picnic Area 23

This picnic site is conveniently situated near the Magic Mountain Playground as well as a large grass playing field. Trees provide partial shade, and a paved surface provides accessibility. The site has two tables and one grill that will accommodate up to twenty persons. There is no electricity to the site and all sites share common water. Parking is shared among all park users and is available on a first-come-first-served basis.

Loop Trail

The Loop Trail also serves as the park’s lower service road. It is a 12’ wide dirt road that goes in and out of trees before reaching the junction with Alambique Trail. The Loop Trail ends there but the Alambique Trail continues up, with the Meadow junction just another tenth of a mile uphill.
