The Bay Circuit Trail (BCT) remains open. Please check the website of the area you plan to visit to see if the property owner has any restrictions in place. Although we may be discouraging group gatherings, we are encouraging the use of the BCT. It’s important to have a venue for physical health and mental wellness, especially during times of stress. A hike on a favorite segment of the BCT can be a respite from the uncertainty around us. The Trail is a perfect place for slowing down, gathering your internal resources, and gaining clarity. That said, if you have symptoms, have tested positive, or have been in contact with someone who has symptoms/tested positive to Coronavirus/COVID-19, please refrain from using the BCT.
We encourage healthy, symptom-free hiking on the Bay Circuit Trail, but to avoid popular locations known for heavy use. We suggest you practice social distancing at trailheads and along the Trail, especially at scenic overlooks.
