Quick Facts

Historical/Interpretive Information/Exhibits

Lovers' Lane is one of the oldest foot trails in the Presidio, having first been used by US soldiers to catch the trolley line into town so they could visit their sweethearts and families in the late 1800s.

Lovers' Lane is a great place for a relaxing one-mile stroll. The trail begins at Funston Avenue and Presidio Boulevard, then crosses a tiny brick footbridge over the creek running down Tennessee Hollow from El Polí­n Spring before climbing the hill to the Presidio Avenue Gate.
