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.
