Fort Miley Military Reservation
Fort Miley Military Reservation, Military fortification at Point Lobos, San Francisco, United States.
Fort Miley Military Reservation is a former military installation at Point Lobos where defensive works and historic batteries once guarded the bay. Today the grounds contain remains of these structures and a warehouse that stored military equipment.
The property was acquired by the US Army in 1893 and equipped with fortifications to protect San Francisco Bay. During World War II it played an important role in defending the American West Coast.
The site preserves memories of the coast's role in military history and shows how guns and fortifications shaped life for people in San Francisco. The USS San Francisco Memorial remembers battles that mattered to the region.
Visitors can reach the grounds during daylight hours using El Camino Del Mar and 48th Avenue. The Route 38 bus line also provides access for those without a car.
The grounds host a ropes course operated by the Pacific Leadership Institute, bringing modern adventure activities to this historic military site. This unexpected pairing shows how historical places find new purposes today.
