This is an urban hike mainly on paved streets (Some sections have sidewalks and there is a short forest path) with small amount of local neighborhood car traffic. There are several uphills and our pace will be moderate, but not slow.

4 legged 'Arf Arf' D2 pace friends allowed on hike but must be on a leash, trained, people friendy, and able to complete the hike or fit into your day pack or stroller. You're responsible to bring your own doggy waste bag.

Looking for a pleasant Sunday morning urban hike with a pleasant view? If so, join us for this 5 +/- mile urban loop hike, with hills and curves, around Berkeley Lake. We will hike once around the lake loop which includes a forest side trail. Our starting and finishing point with be the Berkeley Lake City Hall parking lot across the street from Lake Berkely Chapel. You can't miss it.

This is a paved street hike with only a partial sidewalk section and forest trail, so please be sure to wear reflective and/or bright clothing. There is some local neighborhood road traffic, but generally very light. We will be hiing against any oncoming traffice. You are responsible for your own safety.
