Lake Merced Park

Bordered by rolling hills and golf courses in southwest San Francisco, the park offers a tranquil expanse of water removed from the denser city grid. Along the edge, anglers head out onto piers and shorelines to fish for regularly stocked trout and bass. The open water and surrounding greenery also serve as habitat for both resident and migratory birds, creating a quiet setting for tracking wildlife or putting in longer distance workouts with waterfront views.
