Beautiful 2.7mile lap around the reservoir . Fresh air , forest trees , and plenty of challenging quick hills . Park down on the road and save $7.

AWESOME place fora walk or hike with family or by your self.

Super beautiful place for a walk. It's a shame that bikes are so restricted on the dirt upper ring.

great place to bring the kids for outdoor time, but it can get busy with powerwalkers during peak times

Bring exact change, booth for whole day parking isn't always manned. The machine takes $5, $1 notes, coins only - no change $7/day. Short term, up to 2 hours, machines take credit cards . $3/2hours.

Park closes at 5:30pm after DLS. If you go after 4:30, you will not have time to go around the reservoir . Unless you run fast!

It's so great to view a big lake ! It's so fresh in great atmosphere!

A lot of steep hills with awesome views .

Now that it's Spring time, the rainy season is coming to a close, the Reservoir 's Rim Trail is a beautiful 2-3 hour hike . Gorgeous vistas of Lafayette, Orinda, and Mt Diablo !

Probably the nicest picnic spot in East Bay right on the water. Dog-friendly. Runners & walkers paradise with a 2.5 mile paved route around the lake .

Now that it's spring time and the rainy season is coming to a close, try the Reservoir 's Rim trail ! Gorgeous vistas of Lafayette Orinda and Mt Diablo

Nice place for a picnic or walk

100 min for the hike , completely worth the effort.

Try running with your pet it is great exercise for you and your pet

The upper trail is segmented, so you can hike just a part of it.

Beautiful spot! Be sure to bring quarters or buy a parking pass .

Usually there are a lot more people than you would expect shortly after the sun rises riding bikes , walking and running.

Nice place to go in the early morning when the clouds are low and hovering over the water.

Buy an annual parking pass . It supports the Reservoir , and makes it very easy to get in and park , any time.

Nature....Peace...Quiet ...

Great place to walk your dog!

Really amazing place

Just under 3 miles , this is a great walk for all ages

Remember quarters for the meters

Meters are 1.50 an hour now.

Take a paddle boat ride across the lake . Pretty cheap , pretty fun.

Arrive before 9 a.m. Sunday mornings to be sure to find parking .
