McLaren Park Trails
Miles of paved and unpaved trails wind through the park, many of them built during the Depression by the Works Projects Administration (WPA). You can hike through a variety of habitats, both native and introduced, including forests, grasslands and marshy riparian areas, where springs feed Yosemite Creek.
Philosopher's Way Trail
Built on the park's existing trail network, the 2.7-mile Philosopher's Way Trail is a curated hike with 14 musing stations along the way, featuring plaques with a quotation, a bit of park history or other interesting tidbit. The project was a partnership between the San Francisco Arts Commission and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission. The trail head is located at 1229 Mansell Street.
