East Bay

Updated trail maps introduced

EBMUD is pleased to offer an update to our East Bay trails maps, including an interactive
3-D version with detailed trail locations, access points, elevations, amenities and a search function that allows users to find their ideal trails. Visit East Bay trails for more information. 

EBMUD's 57,100 acres of beautiful watershed lands and reservoirs in the East Bay and Sierra Foothills protect water quality for EBMUD customers.

An oasis for wildlife and a haven for trail users, District trails offer many opportunities for permit holders to explore and enjoy nature.

Explore East Bay watershed lands

In the East Bay, the shores of Lafayette Reservoir and San Pablo Reservoir offer great spots to picnic, walk, birdwatch, boat and fish. Along 90 miles of East Bay trails, hikers and horseback riders can enjoy the beauty of the reservoirs and streams, redwoods, wildflowers and open grasslands. 

East Bay Watershed Master Plan 

On May 22, 2018 the EBMUD Board of Directors approved the update to the East Bay Watershed Master Plan, adopted the Negative Declaration and made findings related to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Mountain bikes

In 2018, EBMUD opened the Pinole Valley and Eagle's Nest Multi-Use trails to bicycles. As with all EBMUD trails, a permit is required. To purchase a permit, download maps and more, visit our East Bay trails page
