Paddling adventures are abundant at Lake
Chabot. This picturesque 315 acre lake lies in
the heart of Castro Valley, but you’d never know
it due to the spectacular scenery. That in turn
makes Lake Chabot a paddler’s haven. Enjoy the
scenery and wildlife while paddling along the
lake’s seven miles of shoreline. Wildlife that
might be spotted includes deer, raccoon and a
wide variety of birds, including heron, and
cormorants.
Visitors enjoy a variety of recreational
activities on the water or off the water in
a beautiful setting. Lake Chabot has a
beautiful day use picnic area with several
hiking and biking trails. It is also a
popular destination for anglers due to its
trout planting program. The best trout
action is from the fall through the spring
months.
Private watercraft may not be launched
except for rowboats, canoes, kayaks, electric
trolling motorboats and skull boats, twenty
feet or fewer. Motorized boats are not
allowed, lending to the peacefulness of this
fantastic spot.
