Angel Island State Park

Angel Island State Park is a cultural and historic landmark located a short ferry ride from beautiful Tiburon, California. 

Angel Island park hours are 8:00am to sunset everyday. 

The highest point is Mount Livermore which is 781 feet, and named after Caroline Livermore, a conservationist who helped to create Angel Island State Park.  Mount Livermore offers beautiful 360 degree views of the San Francisco skyline, the Marin Headlands, Mount Tamalpain, and the Bay. 

The island has over 13 miles of hiking trails and over 8 miles of biking trails–ranging from beginner to advanced.

The island is also alive with history. Three thousand years ago, the island was a fishing and hunting site for Coastal Miwok Indians. Later, it was a haven for Spanish explorer Juan Manuel de Ayala, a cattle ranch, and a U.S. Army post. From 1910 to 1940, the island's Immigration Station was an entry point for hundreds of thousands of immigrants, the majority from China. During World War II, Japanese, and German POWs were held on the island, which was also used as a jumping-off point for American soldiers returning from the Pacific.
