The rich, raw
beauty of Lake Del Valle will captivate
visitors. Surrounded by oak-covered
foothills and colorful shoreline vegetation,
this lake offers a delightful paddling
experience due to its restriction on
gas-powered boats. The lake features
pristine paddling and camping opportunities,
miles of hiking trails, and shaded family
campsites. Camping reservations are highly
recommended, as they are taken up to 12
weeks in advance during the popular summer
season.
Lake Del Valle is a beloved destination for
boating and water sports like
paddleboarding, canoeing, and kayaking.
While motor boating is allowed, it is
limited to a 10 mph speed limit across the
entire lake. The surrounding area also
provides ample hiking and biking trails.
The lake is regularly stocked with rainbow
trout and catfish by the Department of Fish
and Game and East Bay Regional Park
District. Trout are planted from October
through May, while catfish are added in the
summer.
To launch at Lake Del Valle, all watercraft,
including boats, kayaks, canoes, sailboats,
and inflatables, must pass a q uagga
mussel inspection. Crafts that fail
inspection will not be permitted to launch
until they have been out of the water for at
least 5 days.
