Visitors to San Francisco s northern waterfront will soon have more room to roam as the Presidio National Trust opens a new trail crafted at the site of a newly-restored salt water marsh now called Quartermaster Reach.
The new trail, opening next week, extends across a newly-constructed bridge, its path joining the bay to the upper Tennessee Hollow watershed and El Pollín Spring.
The 6-acre site sits just east of Crissy Field and was originally a tidal marsh filled in preparation for the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition. After the fair, the U.S. Army paved over the land, and for decades it sat in the shadow of the behemoth Doyle Drive.
