Miller Park Launching Facility
About
Miller Park Launching Facility is a beach within Golden Gate National Recreation Area in California, about 3.4 miles from the town of Tomales. It sits alongside the Miller Park Boat Launch, which makes it a natural put-in for boaters heading out from this stretch of the coast. Late summer into early fall is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show September highs around 66°F with only about four wet days, while winter months bring highs in the mid-50s and roughly 11 wet days. Several trails lie within a few miles, including Tomales Point Trail at about 1.9 miles and McClures Beach Trail at about 2.1 miles. Paddlers can also look to Walker Creek, about 3.6 miles away, or Estero de San Antonio, about 5.3 miles away.
