Description

The Lake Chabot dam was built in 1874-1875 as a primary source for water in the east bay. The lake was closed to recreation for 91 years. Legislation passed in the 1960s opened the lake for controlled recreation uses. Currently, the lake serves as a standby emergency water supply. For this reason, visitors are asked to observe certain necessary regulations to keep the waters pure.

Anthony Chabot Regional Park and Lake Chabot offer a number of activities including family and group camping, hiking, equestrian trails, bicycle trails, nature study, picnicking, golf, fishing, boat rental, a marina and a restaurant, and boat tours of the lake.
