Check-InCheck-OutAbout
Lake Merritt is a focal point, it stands as the jewel of Oakland, even crowned with lights. A unique fresh and salt-water lake, the largest such lake located within an urban area consisting of 3.4 miles around the circumference of the lake, covering 155 acres of land.
Accessibility
Parking: Most of the accessible parking is at the entrance to Lakeside Park on Bellevue Avenue; elsewhere there is only on-street parking.
Restrooms: Accessible restrooms are at Snow Park, Fairyland, the Boating Center, and at the Municipal Boathouse.
Trail: The 3.4-mile trail around the lake is a combination of pavement and hard-packed dirt. It is mostly level but there are a few short sections where the grade is greater than 1:12 (measurement for an ADA compliant ramp) and some sections are bumpy.
