Trailblaze & Celebrate: Hiking and Park Fest Day! - Sat May 11, 9am-11am
NOTE: We are meeting next to Lake Chabot Marina & Cafe . You can either park your car in parking lot or use street parking ~1/4 mi away on Lake Chabot Road. Parking fee is $5 per vehicle in the parking lot.

  • In this beautiful Spring weather, join us at Castro Valley to explore Lake Chabot Regional Park, a park that is known for hiking, biking, fishing, boating etc.
  • Lake Chabot offers over 20 miles of hiking trails. The paved West Shore and East Shore trails provide access to the south and east shores of the lake
  • We will hike the East Shore Trail which is 90% paved. This is a hike of easy elevation and moderate length and is suitable for all ages. 
  • If you want to challenge yourself a bit more, there is a little loop on the Ten Hills Trails, a detour up the hills on our way back, meeting back at the marina where we start. This is a paved path until Indian Cove Trail and then becomes a dirt path that winds gradually upward through the woods. The landscape opens up near the top to provide views of the lake. We will evaluate at the turn-around point if there is a subgroup that would like to tackle this optional add-on.
  • After the hike, we can join the Park Fest and celebrate 90 years of East Bay Regional Parks happening at Lake Chabot. It's a free event with music, performances, Kids' Zone, hands-on fun, nature exhibits and displays, food trucks, eco-friendly activities, and more.
  • We will meet at 9am at the lawn adjacent to Lake Chabot Marina & Cafe. There are flush restrooms nearby. The hike will proceed around 9:15am after going over the Outdoor Code and Leave No Trace (LNT) principles.
  • We will aim to finish around 11 am.
  • Class B uniforms (Pack t-shirt, Scout hat) for your scouts if they have them. Pack t-shirts for adults encouraged but optional.
