Lucas Valley-Marinwood, CA

Lucas Valley-Marinwood is a quiet residential area in northern Marin County, about 20 miles north of San Francisco via Highway 101. The community sits in a valley surrounded by oak-covered hills, accessible primarily through the Lucas Valley Road exit off 101. Most visitors arrive from the Bay Area for the semi-rural atmosphere and proximity to Point Reyes. The area still follows the original cattle-driving route established by the 19th-century Lucas family ranch.
