Good to know

This route starts at the east trailhead and turns around at the west end before Lincoln Boulevard. Continuing toward Baker Beach requires a road crossing that is not part of this walk. The agency calls the boardwalk flat and at-grade but does not publish numeric slope, cross-slope, passing-space, or boardwalk-edge details. Check current Presidio notices for maintenance, habitat work, weather impacts, or closures.
