Take the Lucas Valley and Smith Ranch Road exit off highway 101. Take Smith Ranch Road. Smith Ranch Road heads east.

There are picnic tables and a wooden dock right there by the parking area. Also you will find the trail that follows Gallinas Creek as it flows into San Pablo Bay. The trail overlooks McInnis Marsh.
If you miss the small parking area, the road immediately ends in a large parking area for the McInnis Park Golf Center. You could also park there on the far-right hand side. You will find the trail just behind the row of trees on the right.

October 21, 2024This nature preserve is just between the Industrial/commercial section f Bel Marin Keys Blvd and the housing of the area. It’s a large draw for many birds including swans! I’ve counted 8 of them one time and others have claimed up to as many as 13 though I wonder if some egrets were counted. The Pond backs up to the Hamilton section of the Bay trail. Take US 101 north to Bel Marin Keys exit, turn right onto Bel Marin Keys Blvd, continue 1.1 mile, Pacheco Pond is on your right, turn into the small parking lot on your right.
