Review:

Del Valle Lake, the regional park’s central attraction, is nestled deep within a rolling green valley, surrounded by gorgeous oak trees. The lake hosts an abundance of water activities such as fishing, boating, windsurfing, and swimming. Lifeguards are on duty during high season. Boasting nearly 5,000 acres of land, the Bothe-Napa Valley State Park is also home to the 28-mile Ohlone Wilderness Trail, horse trails, and biking trails. Family, group, and equestrian campgrounds are on-site. There is parking, concessions, restroom, and a visitors’ center. Kayak and boat rentals are available. Guided tours of the lake are a great way to learn about the natural history of the area.
