Tolay Lake Regional Park, nestled in Petaluma, CA, spans an impressive 3,400 acres, making it one of the largest regional parks in Sonoma County. The park is home to Tolay Creek, vast grasslands, and panoramic ridges offering breathtaking views of San Pablo Bay, the San Francisco skyline, and the surrounding Bay Area peaks.
Outdoor enthusiasts can explore 11 miles of trails suitable for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Wildlife enthusiasts will delight in spotting golden eagles, burrowing owls, and other birds of prey that call the park home. Visitors can embark on various looped routes or longer excursions, with highlights including the Three Bridges Vista Point and the picturesque Tolay Lake.
Rich in cultural and natural history, Tolay Lake holds significance for the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria, comprising Coast Miwok and Southern Pomo tribal citizens. The park’s restoration plans aim to preserve its sacred Native American heritage while providing vital habitat linkages and wildlife corridors for the region.
