Spur Trail

Spur Trail is a protected pathway system in San Mateo County with two main sections lined with oak and eucalyptus trees. Both segments feature paved walking surfaces that are easy to navigate for most visitors.

Local residents successfully fought in 1975 to protect this area as open space rather than allowing road expansion through it. This decision preserved the green corridor that exists today.

The trail functions as a community gathering space where students and residents walk, run, and spend time outdoors together. It connects neighborhoods and serves as a place where people from different areas of Millbrae can meet.

The northern section can be entered from Richmond Drive while the southern section is accessible from South Ashton Drive. Both access points are easy to locate and offer straightforward entry to the paths.

The route runs alongside Millbrae Creek and passes near sports facilities and a skateboard park that most people overlook. This combination of natural landscape and recreation amenities creates an unexpectedly versatile destination.
