Meet at Lake Chabot Marina Parking @9:30AM
Join the NSC for a beautiful Bay Area hike at the Lake Chabot Regional Park (East Bay RPD Link), and continue the fun by strolling the Castro Valley Creek Downtown (YouTube Link) zone “après hike” and explore the shops and eateries led by former NSC President, Joel Hayashida.
The 3.8-mile loop (396 foot elevation gain) hike that links portions of the Indian Cove, Ten Hills, Cameron Loop, and East Shore trails (AllTrails Chabot3) has gentle hills and refreshing water views. Along the way, we will see early spring blooms, trees, the lake, and wildlife! Park at the Lake Chabot Marina Parking Lot (Lake Chabot Parking Entrance).
The all-day parking fee is $5 per vehicle and the kiosk accepts major credit cards and quarters. Carpooling is suggested. Bring: hat, sunscreen, sturdy shoes, water…
Downtown Lake Castro activity will be ad hoc with a plan but with a plan subject to change based on group interest. The plan is to park at the Luckys.
The target après-hike eatery is Canyons Barbeque (BBQ) as there is a good amount of seating.
Final details will be provided to signees via email around end of March. Please sign up so that the hike leader can provide last minute fine-tuned details.
