The Baylands Nature Preserve in Palo Alto, CA, encompasses 1,940 acres of marshland, making it one of the largest undisturbed marshlands in the San Francisco Bay area. It offers visitors 15 miles of multi-use trails that lead through a diverse mix of tidal and freshwater habitats, making it a prime location for birdwatching on the west coast.

A highlight of the preserve is the Lucy Evans Baylands Nature Interpretive Center, providing educational opportunities for visitors to learn about the local ecosystem. The center offers insights into the resident bird population and serves as a migratory stopover on the Pacific Flyway, attracting a variety of bird species.

Aside from the Nature Interpretive Center, visitors to the Baylands Nature Preserve can explore amenities such as a duck pond, sailing station, wetlands, and a municipal golf course. The park's rich history dates back to the early 20th century when it was envisioned as a multipurpose recreation area. Today, it stands as a testament to conservation efforts and serves as a vital habitat for wildlife in the region.
