There are many guides to parks, bike trails, and birding locations for the San Francisco South Bay. Because I do my birding from a power wheelchair, I need to use accessible trails, paths, and even levees. Knowing where to park is important as well. And, of course, it's nice to have directions to exactly where the birds are! So, I made these maps for myself. Others have found them helpful as a way to plan a safe, comfortable, and productive birding trip. I hope they may be of use to you.
