Battery Crosby Trail

Battery Crosby in the Presidio

Kirke Wrench/National Park Service

This short segment of the Batteries to Bluffs Trail takes visitors to Battery Crosby, an Endicott-era battery completed and armed in 1900 to protect the underwater minefield outside the Golden Gate.

On the first Saturday and Sunday of each month (from 11 am to 3 pm), you can see a demonstration of the "disappearing gun" that was mounted here at Battery Chamberlin to the south (at the north end of the Baker Beach parking lot).
