Kayaking Lake Chabot
  

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.
