Great view of San Leandro Creek from the East Shore Trail. You can see the water from the trail, so it's a great place to take a break and enjoy the view.

Wave "hello" to the horses as you pass by the Anthony Chabot Equestrian Center Riding Stables. This is a working-class ranch that has four-plus barns housing about ninety horses, so the chances of seeing one is high!
