Start the Hike

Start your hike on the main paved trail by the entrance kiosk. You’ll notice a small mound planted with flowers and a plaque denoting the site of the Giant Powder Company from 1892 to 1960. When massive explosions destroyed its Berkeley and San Francisco factories, Giant Powder moved to remote Point Pinole to manufacture dynamite. Here they built a thriving company town and local railway. More than two billion pounds of explosives were produced here by various dynamite companies before East Bay Regional Parks acquired the property in 1973.
