Anthony Chabot Regional Park

I have ran Lake Chabot over 50 times, hike almost every trail ridden my bike and rented pontoon boats with the family for a daily excursion. This was our first experience camping here and it was a blast. Typically I travel hundreds of miles to get away from daily city life. If I only knew it was in my backyard all this time! This was my son's first camp out and I couldn't ask for a better place.

Great spot to hike or bike. The campground is closed until next week. Drive carefully as there are still many downed trees in the roads and some rock piles from small slides which have yet to be removed. There are plenty of open trails but some have also been closed until maintenance can prioritize the work. A truly beautiful reservoir with abundant bird song and activity. There were a number of people but not too crowded for a Sunday.

I liked this hike. I hiked with a group of 10 including an 8 year old boy. Hike is smooth and stable. It is surrounded by mature trees including the redwood trees. There is a fair number of parking spots at this entrance. We started at 6:30 am and came back around 9:20 am. We made a loop around the trail. To make a complete loop, we had to walk on the side of the road and in residential neighborhood without any issue. I recommend this hike with friends and family.

It's a great place to walk with family and friends, nice place to walk dogs with water stops around the park. The trees give a nice smell that relaxes everyone as you walk by. The park has many hills and plain Rocky paths. I recommend bringing water and a camera with you, I love walking and taking pictures as I walk by. Overall a great park!

Great camping spot, was lucky to not have a run in with raccoons. Awesome trails with some not being for the faint of heart! Research your trails before you take them! They have bathroom & shower facilities on the campgrounds which is a great help. Dumpsters & recycling bins are nearby too so it makes cleaning up a breeze. AC is also the best campground in Oakland cost wise. Worth spending some time here.

Beautiful Family Campground sites in the forest with gorgeous views of Lake Chabot, Sunol Ridge, Mission Peak, Mount Allison, Monument Peak, Coyote Hills, San Francisco Skyline, Sutro Tower, and Santa Cruz Mountains.

This is an under rated East Bay Regional Park. Great trails and variety. Around much of the lake is a nice paved trail good for kids biking, but wonderful, adventurous trail running between the lake and Redwood Regional Park with ridges and gullies and grassy meadows, stands of oak, redwoods, cypress, and more. Regular sightings of hawks, turkeys, coyotes, rabbits, and more. Great for mountain biking
