One of the nine Bay Area counties, Marin County is linked to San Francisco
by the Golden Gate Bridge and to the East Bay by the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge.
It is bordered on the north and northeast by Sonoma County and on the west
by the Pacific Ocean. The 520 square miles of Marin offer a wide variety of
topography, climate, and vegetation, from the tidal flats of the coastline
to the slopes of Mt. Tamalpais rising 2,600 feet above sea level; from the
dense stands of redwood and pine to the inland grasslands and exposed rocky
areas, and the coastal fogs that temper the warm inland temperatures in summer.
The combination of mountains, sea, and climate in Marin County, with 141,400
acres of federal, state, and county parkland, county open space, and two water
districts' lands devoted to recreation, has made the county a recreation spot
for the entire Bay Area. Marin County has many state, county and city operated
parks and recreational facilities including: China Camp State Park, Mt. Tamalpais
State Park, Point Reyes National Seashore, and the Golden Gate National Recreation
Area.
