June 18, 2025, Valle Verde Trailhead Lafayette

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 Iron Horse Trail is a rail trail through San Ramon Valley. It’s a smooth, paved pathβ€”great for a relaxed spin or a steady training session. The route is mostly flat, with easy access to cafΓ©s and parks along the way. This urban trail winds through several green spaces and crosses some cool bridges. It’s shared with pedestrians and horseback riders, so be sure to ride carefully.

The reservoir is a definite scenic highlight, and you can expect to see plenty of people kayaking, fishing, and hiking on and off the water. San Pablo Dam Road takes you to a couple different boat launches and picnic areas with views of the water. Old San Pablo Dam Road is more scenic and winds along the shore, but the surface is quite old and, while technically paved, is really better suited for a gravel bike.

This is a delightful, flowy, mostly shaded route through the canyon with fantastic views through the trees and a few overlooks and picnic spots to pull over and soak in the views.
