History

Anthony Chabot Regional Park began operating in 1952. Due to its dominant geographical feature, it was initially referred to as Grass Valley Regional Park. It was later renamed in 1965 after the builder of the first public water system in Lake Chabot and Oakland. Many watersheds have since been established, and a lot of eucalypti has been planted in the region.

In the 1860s, American settlers carried out ranching activities in the grassland region. They were the first inhabitants to settle in the area. The majority of people that settled here were cattle grazers, primarily due to the availability of grass. The landscape is steep and majorly consists of grasslands, eucalyptus groves, and chaparral. Horse riding, cycling, and hiking are some of the popular activities in the park. It is an excellent campground with over 70 campsites. The park has fantastic trails such as the Goldenrod trail.

The goldenrod trail is established in an area with similar geographical features. The trail has undergone various developments over the years, making it suitable for walking, bird watching, hiking, and nature trips. The trail features the beautiful scenic view of Lake Chabot and the surrounding hills. Its beautiful wildflowers and grassland also attract people to come to this place. The goldenrod trail is a lovely place to hike.
