Description:
Anthony Chabot and Redwood Parks, contiguous segments of the East Bay Regional Park system, are convenient getaways with ample recreational opportunities for residents of the greater Oakland area. For mountain bikers, both areas provide beautiful settings, numerous fire road loops and riding suitable for all levels, though technical riding is in short supply.

Breezing through the forested canyons of Redwood Regional Park, it's hard to imagine you're just minutes from the heart of the Raider nation, though on week-ends the crowded trailheads will provide a stark reminder. The terrain of both parks is mixed, ranging from open, grassy ridge tops to densely forested hillsides and canyons. Riders at Chabot get to take in views of sparkling Lake Chabot, a 315-acre man-made reservoir. The shade, and the proximity to the bay, make Chabot and Redwood excellent choices for summer riding.
