Verna Dunshee Trail - East Peak

California State Parks is developing a Facilities Management Plan (FMP) for the East Peak area of Mount Tamalpais State Park. The FMP will identify a cohesive vision for East Peak's future in terms of site amenities and recreation opportunities. The first phase of the planning process was conducted in 2015-2018, during which time existing conditions studies were conducted and stakeholder and public input was solicited at events, through an online survey, and through interviews. The second phase of the planning process is now underway and will include the development of a conceptual alternative, additional opportunities for public and stakeholder engagement, and completion of the FMP
Upcoming opportunities to engage in the planning process will include online activities and virtual meeting(s), and will be posted on this webpage and emailed to the project contact list.
