Lafayette Reservoir Recreation

Rails-to-Trails Conservancy, a nonprofit organization working to establish a nationwide network of trails from former rail lines and linking corridors, supports the Lafayette/Moraga Regional Trail, which is one of 1600 rail-trails supported by the group. This "rail-trail," which was once an abandoned railroad line, is now a terrific spot to walk Petzooie in Moraga! A parking lot with easy access to the Lafayette/Moraga Regional Trail is shown on the map below.

Pets are permitted to play off-leash in the undeveloped portions of this gorgeous regional park, or they can be leashed for a walk along the lovely paved canyon paths.

Walnut Creek Recreation offers activities for people of all ages and abilities. Register to receive the most up-to-date information on our activities and events.
