The Lafayette Reservoir Recreation Area is a year-round park with a 2.7 paved walkway around the reservoir. Looking around at the surrounding hills makes you forget you're in the middle of a Bay Area suburb.

Cycling

There are a bunch of great hiking and biking trails around the reservoir. Some, like the Shore Trail, are two-lane paved cycleways with no vehicle traffic, and others are unpaved dirt roads up in the hills. All are beautiful trails to explore on two wheels!
