Confirmed from Intersection of Lafayette Reservoir Rim Trail & Moraga Way Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
What runners say about Intersection of Lafayette Reservoir Rim Trail & Moraga Way Trail
“The Rim Trail is a fire road and quite wide, with beautiful panoramic views of the reservoir bowl and surrounding landscape.”
This is the upper end of the path from Moraga Way to the Lafayette Reservoir Rim Trail (aka "Jeep Trail"). The entrance of path is at 601 Moraga Way at intersection of Via Grenada, where there is plenty of street parking. The path is a nice summer/fall entrance to the Rim, with a cool shaded forest.
Long time "oasis' for not only Lafayettians but the many who frequent it from near and far. Particularly appreciate the upper trails away from the masses. Dont overlook the rental boats, especially the row boats for added exercise
Another place where you can just let your mind go free always beautiful scenic, and wonderful terrain.
