This little East Bay lake in the Oakland Hills is still recovering from a fire that occurred in 1991 but is nonetheless in splendid condition for recreational purposes. This place offers a swimming area, a snack bar as well as a changing facility. Surrounded by a lush canopy of trees and hiking trails that wind through the hills, Lake Temescal also beckons those seeking terrestrial adventures. Fishing is permitted year-round and the lake is stocked with catfish, rainbow trout, largemouth bass and more. Whether you're seeking a peaceful day by the water, a scenic hike through nature, or a place to connect with friends and family, Lake Temescal is the place to be.
