Embark on the Live Oak, Honker Bay, Columbine and Brandon Trail Loop, a moderate hike spanning 9.6 miles (15.4 km) with an elevation gain of 1309 feet (399 metres). This journey typically takes around 4 hours and 28 minutes to complete. You will experience diverse scenery, starting from the tranquil shoreline of Lake Chabot and winding through shaded riparian woodlands. As you climb, the path opens up to chaparral, leading to ridgetops where you can enjoy panoramic vistas, especially from sections like the Towhee Trail.
When planning your visit, be aware that parking is available at the day-use lot off Marciel Road. Dogs are generally welcome on these trails, so you can bring your canine companion along for the adventure. It is important to check current trail conditions before you go, as parts of the Columbine Trail have previously faced closures due to landslides and fallen trees, which could affect your route.
This loop is notable for its dynamic landscape, offering a mix of environments from the water's edge to higher elevations. The Honker Bay Trail section provides extensive views across Lake Chabot, making it a highlight of the route. You will encounter both cooler, tree-covered paths and more exposed areas, showcasing the varied ecosystems within Lake Chabot Regional Park.
