Tennessee Valley

Known for the easy and gentle two-mile jaunt (popular with the stroller set) to the sandy shore of Tennessee Cove, this trailhead provides access to many scenic loops for hikers of all ages. Most trails are not dog friendly. This hike is rigorous and rewarded with city and ocean views:

Marincello Loop (6.5 miles)

The Marincello trailhead is at the southeast corner of the parking lot located just to the right of the Miwok Stables sign. There’s a steady grade (often shared with bikes and horses) 1.2 miles up to the peak. At the top of the trail, take a sharp right onto Bobcat Trail, which quickly runs into the Miwok Trail. Continue on the Miwok Trail and take a right onto Old Springs Trail, which starts off by crossing a wooden bridge and continues as a narrow and scenic return to the stables and parking lot.

Hwy 101 exit at Hwy 1 in Mill Valley. Left onto Tennessee Valley Rd to parking lot.
