The A-Side trail is a continuation of the B-Side and an entrance into the south side Halfmoon Bay trails. This appears to be a fairly new trail and doesn't yet have a proper bridge or way over the creek that runs across it. However someone has thrown a couple of skinny logs down that you can walk across and there are also a couple of old thik logs that you can get across on. This trail joins Leave It to Beaver and Hwy. 101.
