Lake Merritt

Situated right in the centre of Oakland, this tidal lagoon is a leading local nature spot. Lake Merritt’s shoreline is a haven for birds, while its waters are packed with aquatic life. Take a stroll along the waterside walking trail, or rent a rowing boat to explore its manmade islands up close.

    Didn't really visit it but we were in Oakland only for the night to catch an early morning flight and the hotel, which provided an early morning shuttle to airport, was near some body of water. But have visited the lake in the past and this is one of Oakland's better attractions. Frankly, the hotel was HORRID! Uncomfortable beds, clientele really sketchy.
