There is one special geocache in each of the East Bay Regional Parks properties (except a few that don't allow geocaches.) At the time of this cache placement, the park district encompasses 199,000 acres. Please enjoy all the parks and trails, but please respect the Park rules.
Be sure to stamp your passport with the stamp provided in the geocache. To be sure of having a passport, download one via Passport To The Parks. In a pinch you can stamp a blank piece of paper and glue it into your passport later. When you completely fill up your Passport, you can redeem it for a special prize. Of course, there is no cost for participating. For further information on the Passport series, see Passport To The Parks
Quarry Lakes Regional Recreation Area features a year-round swim area, stocked lakes for fishing, picnic sites and a rare fruit orchard. It has fairly level gravel trails that are perfect for walking, running and bike-riding. Leashed dogs are permitted in most of the area. There is an entry fee for vehicles/dogs in the main parking lot, but there are walk in entry points from the Alameda Creek trail.
Special thanks to csolsen for the cache site!
