Report Trail Issues: Where and How
Marin’s open spaces and wild lands are extensive and often remote; ranger field staff is sometimes limited and response times can be lengthy. Land managers depend on visitors to be additional eyes and ears on our public lands. Here’s how to report..
Emergencies involving Imminent Threat to Life or Property? Call 911.
Give location (exact as possible), nature of emergency, your name and contact/call-back information.
Stay on the line, follow instructions from dispatcher.
Non-emergency reporting, such as trail blockage or maintenance issues; vandalism; inappropriate or suspicious behavior;
incident or interaction with another visitor; specific safety hazard; etc…. use the contact information below.
If you’re unsure about which agency manages the land you’re on, you can report to multiple agencies.
California State Parks
For all State Park emergencies: call 911 and ask that State Parks dispatch be notified, or call State Parks dispatch directly at 916-358-1300. This is the quickest way to report an emergency or crime in progress.
