give the best of yourself

Further Afield: Lake Chabot

After chatting with the ranger in the toll booth, we opted to walk clock-wise around the lake. It was super chilly and crisp when we met but once we started moving and the trail got us in the sun, we warmed right up! 

The 8.5 mile loop takes you through many micro-forests: eucalyptus groves, redwood trees, crossing a brook and all of the while you can hear the honking of Canadian geese on the lake. The trail has its share of some uphill climbs as well.

We saw a boy scout troop headed for an overnight, kids on bikes... groups of people just out for a walk, people fishing on the lake. Lake Chabot is a great place to go for a reprieve from urban living. It was a great day Further Afield!
