Lake Del Valle is a scenic reservoir located in the oak-dotted hills of Livermore, just 10 minutes from downtown. Part of the State Water Project, this five-mile-long lake offers 16 miles of shoreline and supports water storage for the South Bay Aqueduct, flood control for Alameda Creek, and local wildlife habitats. Operated by the East Bay Regional Park District as part of Del Valle Regional Park, it’s a popular destination for outdoor recreation. Visitors can enjoy a wide range of activities including swimming, boating, camping, hiking, biking, picnicking, horseback riding, and fishing. The Del Valle Visitor Center, located on the lake’s west side, offers educational exhibits and information about the area’s natural and cultural history. Naturalist-led boat tours provide a scenic way to explore the lake and learn about local wildlife. The park’s origins trace back to 1966. The weather can vary, so dressing in layers is recommended. Note that collecting or disturbing natural features, including mushrooms, is prohibited. The park is located on Del Valle Road, just south of I-580 in Livermore. For more information or to plan your visit, call (510) 544-3146 or check the East Bay Regional Park District website. Annual Day Use Passes are not accepted here.
