Lake Del Valle Recreation
Here I am with Honey Graham Cracker kayaking at Lake Del Valle!
This week I have been posting about one of the sixty five parks in the East Bay Area Park District~ Beautiful Lake Del Valle! One of the California’s premier fishing lakes known for it’s many species of fish. Regular plants of Rainbow Trout and Catfish keep anglers busy catching food for the dinner plate. I have also caught stripers, large mouth and small mouth bass, crappie, and bluegill.
With it’s close access to the Bay Area and wide variety of activities Lake Del Valle has become a favorite destination for outdoor enthusiast’s. Some of the activities they offer are camping accommodations(including group camping), hiking and mountain biking trails, bird watching( if you are fortunate you may see the bald eagles!), Fishing of course, geocaching, watercraft excluding skiing and jet ski types, and windsurfing(I learned to windsurf here in High School) The park also has several large grass areas with picnic tables and BBQ’s and designated swim areas. As you can see there’s much to do in this beautiful park.
Del Valle Park is also the eastern gateway to the Ohlone Wilderness Trail where you can hike 28 miles to Sunol Regional Park!
I find this scenic and peaceful atmosphere produces a climate where visitors are relaxed, friendly and enjoying themselves and each other and all just a short drive from the busyness of the Bay Area!
