Valle Vista is the trailhead for the paved Lafayette-Moraga Regional Trail, a popular rail-trail for cyclists. There’s a restroom here, but note: the EBMUD dirt trails are hiking-only and require a permit. The bike trail has been officially closed between here and Moraga since a 2019 landslide.

The EBMUD trails at Valle Vista are unfortunately just for hiking (and you need an EBMUD hiking permit), but there is a restroom and it marks the start of the dedicated paved Lafayette-Moraga Regional Bike Trail, a converted former rail line. Due to a land slide the trail is officially closed since at least 2019 between Valle Vista and and Moraga, but everyone just walks around the fence and uses it, except for the actual short landslide area in Moraga.
