Shepherd Canyon / Montclair Railroad Trail

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Beautiful rail-to-trail route, that manages to climb gradually the rather steep Oakland hills above Montclair, half of this section is high above Shepherd Canyon road, until it merges closer, but still separate from the road. Paved, and usually wide enough to comfortably pass pedestrians. Occasional landslides show how precarious the routing was.

Skyline Gate Redwood Regional Park

Highlight • Rest Area

Skyline Boulevard crests near the entrance to Redwood Regional Park. There are bathrooms and viewpoints into the park that drops to the east, generally north-east along and below the ridge of the Oakland hills.

Old San Leandro Creek Stone Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Pinehurst Road descends into a grove of tall redwood trees just before reaching an old stone bridge. There is a tiny group of houses and a post office tucked beneath the towering forest giants.

Tip by

46.8 km

Redwood Regional Park South Entrance

Highlight • Rest Area

As Redwood Road follows Redwood Creek upstream, it skirts the South and West side of Redwood Regional Park, or go straight into Redwood Park Entrance Road, which becomes a gravel Multi-Use Trail after a mile, closed to cars, but bikable.

Tip by

66.7 km

Lake Chabot Dam overlook

Highlight • Viewpoint

While the Chabot dam was closed until the end of 2019 for seismic retrofit repairs, the trails were all closed, forcing riders to continue on busy Lake Chabot Road, which provides a good angle to observe the work below.

Tip by

Lake Chabot Marina

Highlight • Rest Area

Lake Chabot Marina is a scenic area with boasts, bike paths, and over a dozen hiking trails. Visitors can rent boats, fish, and kayak in the lake. There is a cafe here, or just vending machines for a snack, restaurants, and picnic areas.
