Description

Due to severe weather please contact the park at 510-544-3143 prior to your arrival.

Deep in a valley framed by oak-covered hills, with sailboats and sailboards skimming over its waters, Del Valle is like an alpine resort in the middle of the suburbs. The centerpiece of the park is a five-mile long lake, with all kinds of water-oriented recreation, surrounded by 4,316 acres of beautiful land for hiking, horseback riding, and nature study. Del Valle is also the eastern gateway to the Ohlone Wilderness Trail, 28 miles of scenic backcountry trail.

Geography:

Del Valle is located about 10 miles south of Livermore, CA, on the east side of San Francisco Bay.

Recreation:

The Rocky Ridge Visitor Center on the lake's west side contains exhibits and information about the natural history of Del Valle and surrounding wilderness. Spring through fall, Sunol interpretive staff present nature activities; campfire programs; and natural and cultural history boat tours of the lake. Del Valle offers two swimming beaches, with lifeguards on duty during posted periods. There is an abundance of landscaped picnic grounds, some of them reservable for large groups. Hiking and horseback riding opportunities abound; Del Valle is also near the Ohlone Wilderness trail, a hiker's paradise.

Facilities:

The Del Valle Family Campground has tent campsites and sites with water and sewage hookups (no electrical). The sites are served by centrally located toilet and shower facilities. There are also several youth group campgrounds, available by reservation. Visitors may rent motorboats, patio boats, peddle boats, canoes, and kayaks at the marina, and any size boat may be launched at the public boat ramp.

Nearby Attractions:

Del Valle is near many Northern California attractions. The cities of Oakland and Berkeley are just over an hour away, and a longer drive takes visitors to either San Francisco or the Napa and Sonoma valleys. Head toward the Sierra Nevada, to the old mining town of Murphys or Calaveras Big Trees State Park. Cross a bridge, and you'll be on the San Francisco Peninsula, near Stanford University.
