Marin Voice:
It is time for trail access for all
THE TRAIL ACCESS DEBATE wears on in this paper, with the arguments never changing. What is different this time is that the Marin Board of Supervisors has stepped up as directors of our open space, and are seeking new solutions to address user conflict on our open space trails.
News and Meetings
Trail use (foot, bike and equestrian) and parking fees for China Camp State Park have been announced by Friends of China Camp (FOCC). The non-profit, volunteer-run organization, which successfully raised more than $250,000 to prevent the park from being closed as California State Parks had proposed in early 2012, has been managing China Camp since July. The fees are part of an effort by FOCC to raise the funds necessary to meet annual management costs for the park of approximately $500,000.
Annual and day-use passes, good for a 12-month period from date of purchase, are available via website, and at four electronic pay stations installed at the park. Fees are as follows:
Activity |
Annual Fee |
Day-use Fee |
Parking |
$60 (Includes One Trail Use Pass) |
$5 |
Hiking/Running |
$35 Family |
$2 Per Person |
Cycling/Equestrian |
$55 Family |
$3 Per Person |
A4B supports FOCC�s fee program as an important source of funding to keep China Camp State Park and its popular trails, including some of the Bay Area's best legal singletrack, open. We recognize that maintaining the park is costly and encourage cyclists to purchase their trail-use passes, just as other park users are expected to.
