Lafayette, CA - Reservoir Rim Trail

The Lafayette Reservoir is located off Mt. Diablo Boulevard on the west end of Lafayette. Completed in 1933 the reservoir is a standby supply of drinking water for East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) customers. The 925 acre site with a 1.4 billion gallon reservoir was opened to public recreation in 1966 with hiking, fishing, boating and picnicking.

This video shows the highlights of the upper Rim Trail which is 4.9 miles. Some sections are quite steep but always worth it!

There is an entrance fee to the main lot as well as short term (metered) parking. Annual passes are also available.

The area is open year-round during daylight hours. Opening and closing times are posted at the gate.
