Imagine! Take the Survey to Help Plan a Section of the California Coastal Trail Between Half Moon Bay and the Santa Cruz County Line

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Peninsula Open Space Trust is leading a study to explore ways to connect 18 miles of the California Coastal Trail in south San Mateo County from Half Moon Bay to the Santa Cruz County line.

The Coastal Trail is a 1,200-mile planned trail from Oregon to Mexico.

The Peninsula Open Space Trust (POST) is leading this project in partnership with Caltrans and in collaboration with many regional agencies and organizations (listed below).

San Mateo County, along with other local and state organizations, is collaborating with POST on this effort.

More Background Information

About The California Coastal Trail (CCT): The CCT is a trail network that will extend over 1,200 miles from Oregon to Mexico. Learn more here: https://scc.ca.gov/projects/california-coastal-trail/

The CCT in San Mateo County: There are 60 miles of CCT along San Mateo County’s coastline with 30 miles open to the public. These 30 miles are not connected, can be unsafe, and do not always provide people with continuous or helpful travel or recreation opportunities.

About the Feasibility Study: The goal of the feasibility study is to provide detailed information needed for prioritization, design costs, environmental review and permits, and construction. This is a multi-partner project led by POST.
