Annabel Trail

🥾An easy 2.5-mile hike. 📅 The hike starts at the San Ramon Community Center. 🌳 The trail explores Central Park and cross the Iron Horse Trail into Bishop Ranch. 🌲 It leads Annabel Lake Loop, a hidden gem of San Ramon.

10/07/22 This trail is behind the Bishop Ranch Shopping Center across Target and Marriott. There's a parking fee for parking at the Marroit parking lot. Currently, the trail has beautiful Fall foliage. It's a fun place for walking, dog walking, cycling, playing volleyball, and just relaxing while enjoying the serene surrounding. Since it is open to the public, please keep it clean and maintained. Feeding wildlife is prohibited so refrain from doing so. There yes a lot of fun sculptural benches around the park. This trail is best for lunchtime walk, a quick business chat, or to spend some time in solitude. Also great for bringing little kids and family members with disabilities. Enjoy.

Well maintained trail. Scenic and peaceful walks. You can spot little fishes on the lake too

The Annabel Trail is a roughly a 1 mile loop and is part of an office complex across the Bishop Ranch City Center. It is accessible for public from 8am to Sunset. The entrance is from across the San Ramon Marriott. There is no parking on premise, so one can park at the Target parking lot across the lake. It's a man made lake which I'm guessing must have been a place for the employees of those offices pre-pandemic. Now there are no people working there but you'll see the local residents taking a walk around the lake. This place must look gorgeous with the spring blooms.

More than just walking, you can watch the cycle of activity in here, wildlife, birds, plants and fish swimming in the clear water. If you’re lucky, you may see a beautiful hummingbird flying in front of you and busy to pick the pollen or a big colorful dragonfly too, so many good things to see when you walk here.
