Lafayette Reservoir Travelogue - The Best Fishing Spot in The Bay Area
Weekly hiking, today's recommendation is Lafayette Reservoir in the affluent town! It's perfect for walking children and dogs, fishing, and boating - a multi-purpose reservoir! However, you can't swim as it serves as the drinking water reservoir for Contra Costa residents.
Pros:
* Beautiful scenic views with sunshine and shade. Hiking on flat ground is effortless!
* It's a great place for fishing. The water quality is touted as the best in the bay area and yields top-grade edible fish, with most weighing 2-3 lbs!
* Affordable. Both people and dogs get in for free, parking is $1.5/hr, and paddle boats are $15/hr. The longer you boat, the cheaper it gets - $35/5hrs, the lowest rate in the Bay Area! See image 6 for detailed fees.
* Fully equipped facilities, including large and small parking lots throughout the park. If you don't want to walk, you can drive straight in, making it extremely convenient!
* A final plus point: It's peaceful and less crowded! Visiting on weekdays is practically like reserving the whole place!
In summary: A great place to exercise your legs, walk your kids, and run your dogs!
