Lafayette Reservoir
3849 Mt. Diablo Blvd., Lafayette CA 94549
Let's go back to the beautiful Lafayette Reservoir!
Enter the park at the main entrance at 3849 Mt. Diablo Blvd. and drive up to the main parking lot. In the middle of the parking lot there’s a ticket machine where you’ll need to purchase a One Day Parking Permit for $7. The machine takes cash or cards. (Note that if the ticket machines happen to be broken you can buy a parking permit at the Visitor Center.)
From there turn right and drive downhill toward the Visitor Center. Parking at the Visitor Center is a loading zone only, but there’s an all-day parking lot just up the hill that’s convenient. I suggest popping into the loading zone to drop off your gear, then driving up the hill to park. From there you can walk down a series of steps to the Visitor Center area. There are also good views from the other side of the reservoir. If you’d rather paint there, you can park in the main lot and set up along the top of the dam or along the trail to the left. I'm attaching a map to help you get oriented.
Day use fee is $7, restrooms are open, rain cancels. Hope to see you there!
