Yolanda Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

This trail, open only to hikers and equestrians, is a beautiful route running along a seasonal creek bed through coast live oak and madrone. There are views of Mount Tamalpais summit and Bald Hill as you get higher in elevation and meadows full of wildflowers, offering a perfect setting for a picnic in the grass.

Historic Phoenix Lake Log Cabin

Highlight • Historical Site

This cabin dates back to the 1890s and was originally a caretaker's home located on what was known as part of the ranch for the nearby Porteous Mansion. The cabin's construction comes from redwood logs cut from the Deer Park section of the ranch and the trim around the windows and doors from a fallen tree on the southwest side of Shaver Grade. It is an interesting piece of local history and the only structure of its kind in Marin County.

Natalie Coffin Park

Highlight • Rest Area

In 1967, the family of Natalie Coffin Greene donated 25 acres of Phoenix Lake land for a park in her memory. It is a very private, secluded and peaceful spot to set out on a day hike. The park also makes a great destination in and of itself. It has picnic tables, Ross Creek running through it, and restrooms. Dogs are allowed as long as they are on a leash. The tiny parking lot is usually full on summer weekends, so arriving early in the day is best.
