Amazing views and an awesome place to hike. Some trails allow you to see the 3 bridges across bay. Parking is limited over weekends and fills up over weekend by 8. Roadside parking is available . A definite visit and such a calm getaway from the city

Beautiful place to hike with stunning views of the san Francisco Bay

Beautiful spot with a significant view of the Bay area. The drive up through Tilden can be rather steep. Inspiration Point has a fairly large and very accessible parking lot and a number of trails that lead off from it.

This is one of the best hiking spots in the east bay area, it has a great view of the San Pablo reservour and with a small hike you can get a beautiful view of the bay. If you enjoy hiking you will have a great time, I also recomend point pinole.

Steep incline (approx 35-40°)...great view!

Stunning scenery on an easy trail. Only minutes from the urban sprawl...Best of all; bicycles allowed!

Beautiful panoramic views! Sometimes a bit crowded yet plenty of space to hike or ride bikes.

Very inspiring I should tell ya back in them days my pa use to hunt them horsies that now extinct.

Inspiration point is gorgeous with so many hikers with such enthusiasm to be active. So many trails and beautiful views.

Parking is always a mess but this is a great “escape” from the city. Take the paved trail on the left side of the lot for a pleasant out and back exercise.

I hate to share this wonderful place but here goes! It is my favorite place to go trail running and photograph friends! You do need a permit to go here though!That said let me describe the trail a little bit:Its about 3.5 miles round-trip.Really really wet and muddy at the start! Be prepared for that.Instead of annoying switch backs you get nice big bends and turns. Lots of hills, but a great place to work on down hill running. The last hill of the trail will be the most challenging as on your way back up it youll be running up 150 ft--wait, maybe better to say that its a half a mile uphill. This place is Serene and I love going solo for a peaceful run and stretch. Also just makes for a great hike. The views are just wonderful.I extend my run by crossing the street and heading down to the reservoir. When you get to the second street youll go downhill, not uphill.Happy running/shooting.

You can get any level of hiking, mountain biking or running for long distance. Its a very friendly trails, not too much challenges even for small kids or animals lovers. Love it.

A nice viewpoint; probably not worth driving here just for this viewpoint, but is a great place to stop and stretch and enjoy the mountains

With all that is going on currently, took the family out on a nice refreshing hike yesterday. Every time I come here I am reminded of how much I love the outdoors!! Love the paved trail and mini challenging hills. Definitely gets the heart rate up!!

Its a great place to have fun with the family walking

Beautiful place to go for the easy hike.

Plenty of hiking trails and a pave trail for family bicycle rides. Nice view of san Pablo and Briones reservoir.

Short 4 mile hike. No loop so have to hike back.. Or at least i couldnt find one

Cop told me it was ok to park where I did, but then wrote me a ticket

You gotta bring your skateboards here. super fun ride and you can go pretty far.

My first time there. Great views!

Inspiration Point and the Nimitz Trail offer some of the best views of the Bay Area. From Inspiration Point you can access the paved Nimitz Trail and easily hike the short, but steep trail to the Peace Grove to get an amazing 360° view of the Bay, Mt. Diablo and much more.

Lovely out-and-back trail.

Great views. Flat, minimal parking,, and crowded.

We started here and then walked to lake Anza. It was a short and easy hike with lots of interesting and beautiful spots to look at along the way.

Fantastic panoramic views. Great 9 mile rt Hike or Bike trail

Beautiful afternoon walk ️

Beautiful so quiet & peaceful....if you love the outdoors dont miss this

Took the paved trail for a 10.84 mile out and back hike. Just enough elevation rise and fall to get a good workout. The day was a bit hazy but great views as always.

A hike that everyone must do. I love Tildern Park.

This place is the shiznit, especially on weekdays when not too many people are here. Weekends is a different story--way too many people and dogs. Dont even try riding your bike here on weekends like you own the place. On your left! On your left! fuggedaboutit! Most people are wearing masks, too. Thats how we do it in the pandemic.

A bit disappointed that the lookouts elevation is not high enough to see the surrounding mountains fully. The parts that are visible are beautiful in a rugged kind of way. Free parking and admission.

Nice hiking spot! Very pretty views. Suggest wearing footwear for walking on rocks, dirt paths and in mud

No need to say anything about this famous point! Just enjoy the drive in the woodsy roads, find a parking space and walk and walk and walk until you are tired. Many doggies may join you.

Wonderful scenery. Sadly, the restrooms are locked

The view was been block by lots of trees.

Great views, wish I had had time to hike,the trail map looks comprehensive

Beautiful views!

Very expansive view, good hiking trails. You can view the valley from here and then go to the Seaview trail at Tilden Park. There are also picnic tables and interpretive markers.

Nothing really great about this place. There are some trails though and a cycling path.

Good sized parking, beautiful views!

Fairly easy trail for kids!

Asphalt/paved surface on Nimitz Way. Very limited parking. Popular, with benches to relax.

Great place where dogs can run and play, and climb trees too!

The place has plenty of parking at different places, wide trails, and something for every level of hiker or mountain biker

Great views and room for a long walk on a paved trail. Parking available but it does fill up.

High point but views arent impressive. If you go down by grizzly road there are better view for the bay area and SF.

Paved, easy trail with wonderful views of bay to the west and mount diablo to the west.

Very beautiful and soul soothing!!

Gorgeous trails, and a good chunk of it is paved! you can also see the city further down the trail.

Great staging area for beautiful walks.

History. Paved path for walking, cycling, or other wheeled things. Great views of the bay. Definitely bring a hat, shade can be sparse in spots.

Beautiful views of the landscape leading to Betkeley and Richmond.

Bats at twilight! Beautiful vistas and walking trail. A great stop in Tilden Park.

May day Morris dancing! Fun, if a bit chilly!

Good view of bay

Wonderful walk! Really nice views of the surrounding area, from Mount Diablo to San Francisco.

Most of the view of the reservoir was blocked by bush/trees. So ironically it wasnt very inspirational. Better bored were had on the drive up the mountain.

Get on your feet (or bike) and come out! Parking on a nice weekend will suck, but no one gives you a hard time parking along Wildcat Canyon. Very easy hike with beautiful views.

Went for the view, and it wasnt spectacular. Might be good for hikes

Gorgeous view!

Great views and a fairly flat hike.

An easy drive with a beautiful view! Lots of places to stop along the way too, and nice walking path nearby.

Gorgeous views. Too bad people litter on the side of the road. I am going to take my drone up there and get some great shots. Today April 25th it is all brilliant green and dark green.

You get a good view of many hills and can see Lake Anza also in the background. Many good trails end here.

Astonishing. Unforgettable. Definitely inspiring.

Great place to watch the sunrise. Nice hiking trails, some paved some not. Bring your EBMUD pass to get on the trail with the best sunrise views.

Beautiful scenery. You can run/hike out for miles and be surrounded by cattle and the occasional coyote. Sometimes dog owners can be annoying not watching their dogs.

Amazing vista point and great trails - we walked for 6miles round trip (3miles and back)

Great pace to chill out in the middle of the day

Pick a day with good visibility. In many spots you may have 360 degree views.

Far away from best viewing point in the area. Good to visit for 1 minute.

Great view!

The view wasnt that great. I was bit disappointed.

Easy trail with nice views

It used to better from the parking lot itself, now trees growing up and kind of blocking view. You can still get a good if you hike a little far from parking lot

This is the starting point for the popular Nimitz Way along the ridge, and also for other park trails. It also is a great vista point for views of Mount Diablo and the hills around San Pablo reservoir. I love stopping there for a brief look on my bike rides starting or ending in Berkeley.

Feast for Body and Eyes... See the Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz Island, Treasure and Angel islands

Good spot to see beautiful vista if you cant hike.

The hole up Nimitz way is really nice. Not a pro level hike... Can even be done with kids, or even strollers.

Beautiful views and amazing hiking trails

One of the nicest a low exertion walks/hikes in the East Bay. Theres a peak along this path from which you can see both Mount Diablo on Mount Tam at the same time. There are also little angry elves, in pointy Little Boots, who run around with sharp little knives poking poking poking, and causing all kinds of mischief, so be careful

Nce views of the foothills on a clear day and of Mt. Diablo.

The spot itself doesnt have much of a view, but if you go for a walk in the area, it gets much better.

Nice and clean point that you can have a break after trails hiking. Two unisex Restrooms can be found on the beginning of Nimitz way trail. Great views of from both sides. This is the trail that you can walk even after rain - paved long trail from this point. Little shade, so avoid be here during hot sunny days. May be not able to find a parking lot sometimes. But I saw a lot cars parked along the side of the road. Do NOT go on that trail that need permit if you dont have it.

Great kid hike, paved for strollers, bath rooms, and great views!!

Beautiful view and great hiking

Parking can be a problem. Would be great for star gazing, though I am not sure it is open then.

Hidden gem, great run

Great View

This place is a hidden gem of Berkeley merely 10 mins away. It has great views, a lot of trails. Visit early morning and you will witness the best sunrise views ever. Bring a jacket and a water bottle and try a two mile long Nimitz Trail, you will see a lot of wild life if you are early and maintain silence.

A 220 degree panaroma of gentle mountains, and the trail head for walks, either up to a vantage point, or down to the waters edge of the meandering reservoir. Great for either sunrise or sunset walks. Avoid the heat of the day because there is little shade.

Nice starting point for jogging

Its my favorite walk in the Bay Area from here to the Peace Grove and its overlook (which has a 360 degree view). Anyone can do it. Long winding drive to get there and tough parking on weekends, but its worth it! No services so bring whatever you need. Especially your camera!! And look for the red tailed hawks.

Too glorious for words and I love the paved path. Especially during off peak hours, this is a great place to spend an hour or more.

Kinda pretty. The interpretive info shows an artists rendering of what it looked like before the Mediterranean grasses took over - rolling hills covered in flowers. The view now is very plain. Sad, actually.

Convenient parking. Good jumping off point for either the Nimitz or the Seaview trails, as well as several other very good trails. A convivial spot on a warm weekend, with cyclists, runners, walkers, dogs, babies in carriages happily commingled. Great views.

Beautiful hike

Was there in the early morning. Beautiful sunrise. Quite a few people were out at that time, but it wasnt as crowded as it usually is.

Great views and a good place to walk for an hour. Dont leave tour car unattached for too long though. This is a popular place for smash and grabs.
