East Bay Lakeside Hike & Lunch w/ Views!
What better place to hike with friends than a gorgeous lake close to home, a true local's favorite! We will explore this beautiful lake shore trail, and take in views from every angle, perfect for bird watching and photography. After the hike, we will avoid getting hangry, and head to the lovely lakeside cafe for a yummy lunch with a view! Lake Chabot is the perfect Bay Area hiking destination, so let's go!!
The Hike: 
We will meet bright and early, and start hiking as soon as possible. Please be on time - the earlier we start, the better!
This hike is rated moderate on AllTrails with only a couple significant elevation gains - mostly it should be gentle ups and downs. The trail is about 9.25 miles and should take close to 4 hours to complete. We'll hike under gorgeous tree tunnels, over a suspended boardwalk, past lots of wildlife, and of course overlooking the lake. Dogs are allowed on the trail, but must be on a leash.
Lunch:
After we get back from completing our hike, we'll stop in at a cute local cafe right on the water! They have a menu full of yummy lunch options and delicious drinks too!... It's the perfect send off before heading our separate ways to close out the weekend.
