Itinerary:

This is an urban hike mainly on paved streets (Some sections have sidewalks and a a short 1 mile loop forest greenway path) with light local neighborhood traffic.

Looking for a pleasant Thursday evening urban hike? If so, join us for this 5 mile urban loop hike, with hills and curves, around Berkeley Lake. Our starting and finishing point with be the Berkeley Lake City Hall parking lot, across the street from Lake Berkely Chapel.

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. You are responsible for your own safety. Bring your headlamp or flashlight!

Lake Berkeley has been named a Tree City USA for 18 years! This neighborhood lake area tends to get cooler in the evening, sometimes with a gentle breeze. The surrounding area is pleasantly shaded and a place you can capture the sunset and natural reflections off the lake. As an added bonus you will most likely spot deer around dusk.

Event finishing time can fluctuate and dependent on the group hiking speed and other circumstances, so please be flexible.
