East Bay Runs and Rides | home
Five Canyons
There are numerous trails that wind through these canyons. Try parking at Blackstone Court off of Old Fairview which can be reached from Fairview Ave.
Try parking at the bottom of Private Rec. Road. Park at Don Castro and go out the East end of the park to Five Canyons. Park on Old Dublin Canyon Road and run up Five Canyons Road sidewalk or take the Chabot to Garin segment of the Bay Ridge Trail down into the Five Canyon Trail System. These trails are so new to the Park District some have not been completed much less mapped. Be patient and prepare to back track! They are shady, cool and quiet trails...well worth the inconvenience! Try these listed trails:
Deer Canyon
Shady Canyon
They connect and make a nice loop that crosses the Sandstone Trail which leads to Blackstone Court. Take Newt Pond Trail from Shady Canyon Trail to get up to the Bay Ridge Trail and loop back to Shady Canyon Trail. Take The Bay Ridge Trail down to the left from Newt Pond Trail to loop down to Five Canyons road. Follow the trail signs and you will eventually get to Deer Creek Trail. This can be a tough and hilly loop. Please consult the map I have map of these trails.
