Vasco Caves Regional Preserve exists because of the combined efforts of the East Bay Regional Park District and the Contra Costa Water District.
This hiking and equestrian trail connects Las Trampas Regional Wilderness to Mount Diablo State Park. Completed in 1997, this five-mile trail connects two of the most significant open space parklands in central Contra Costa County. Planning for the trail dates back to the Park District’s 1973 Master Plan and rights-of-way and trail easements were purchased in the 1970s.
Next to Las Trampas on Bollinger Canyon Road is 100-acre Little Hills Ranch
The East Bay Skyline National Recreation Trail, one of 1,200 designated National Recreation Trails in the United States, is part of the historic 1968 National Trails System Act. The trail parallels the Bay Area Ridge Trail, a planned 550-mile multi-use trail along ridgelines ringing the San Francisco Bay Area, and the Anza National Historic Trail, commemorating the 1776 East Bay exploration by Lt. Colonel Juan Bautista de Anza’s expedition.
This Delta de Anza Regional Trail is named to commemorate the route taken by Spanish explorer Juan Bautista de Anza during his 18th-century expedition into the Delta region of today's East Contra Costa County.
The Alameda Creek Regional Trail follows the banks of Alameda Creek in southern Alameda County from the mouth of Niles Canyon (in the Niles District of Fremont) westward to San Francisco Bay - a distance of about 12 miles.
When complete, this trail will connect two of the Park District’s largest open space parks. The existing portion of this trail links Briones Regional Park to the Lafayette-Moraga Trail in the City of Lafayette.
