Shoreline Park, Mountain View

Shoreline Park is a recreational area and wetlands reserve in Mountain View with grasslands, marshes, and a central lake. The grounds feature multiple walking trails and spots for watching wildlife.

The land was once used for salt harvesting before being transformed into a nature preserve in the 1980s. Environmental restoration work rebuilt the soil and created new habitats for plants and animals.

The visitor center features interactive exhibits about bay ecology that help people understand how wetlands and water systems work. Locals come here to learn about the natural processes that shape the landscape around them.

The park has multiple vehicle entrances and designated picnic areas with tables and restrooms. Visitors can rent boats at the lake and should be prepared for varying trail conditions.

The area attracts numerous bird species year-round, both resident and migratory populations. This variety makes it a special spot for bird watching in the region.
