MMWD dedicates 11 miles of Bay Area Ridge Trail on Mount Tam

A series of fire roads in the Mount Tamalpais watershed has become part of the Bay Area Ridge Trail, a planned 500-plus-mile network of paths along the spines of ranges in the nine-county region.

The Marin Municipal Water District, which owns the land, voted unanimously this month to dedicate the six new segments. All paths are fire roads that allow hiking, biking and equestrian access.

“It’s hard to imagine any reason not to support this,” said Ranjiv Khush, a district board member.
