Paddling adventures abound at the
picturesque 315-acre Lake Chabot, nestled in
the heart of Castro Valley. Despite its
central location, the lake's stunning
natural scenery creates a serene paddler's
haven. Visitors can enjoy seven miles of
shoreline, spotting wildlife like deer,
raccoons, herons, and cormorants as they
glide across the water.
The lake offers a variety of recreational
activities both on and off the water. A
beautiful day-use picnic area provides
access to hiking and biking trails, while
anglers can take advantage of the trout
stocking program, which yields the best
catches from fall through spring.
Private watercraft are limited to rowboats,
canoes, kayaks, electric trolling motors,
and small sculling boats, as m otorized
boats are prohibited to preserve the
tranquility of this special spot. Visitors
should also be aware of restrictions
regarding quagga mussels in this location.
The 3,304-acre Anthony Chabot Regional Park
provides an abundance of outdoor activities.
This expansive park features a beautiful
campground as well as an extensive network
of hiking and riding trails, making it one
of the most diverse and versatile parklands
in the East Bay Regional Park District.
