About Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve
Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve is a 241-acre botanical preserve in the Oakland Hills managed by the East Bay Regional Park District. The preserve is an ecological treasure, protecting one of the East Bay's rarest native plant communities—a relic coastal chaparral ecosystem found in only a few locations in California. Visitors can enjoy the preserve's scenic 1.7-mile self-guided nature loop, which winds through forests, chaparral, and unique geological formations while showcasing rare wildflowers, California huckleberries, manzanitas, ferns, and other native plants.

Beautiful, peaceful, and scenic loop trail. Very easy and slightly over a mile and a half. A great day-to-day hiking gem for those who seek a lush and dense greenery. 14 parking spaces and a restroom available in the parking lot. Beware of ticks and posion oak and wear comfortable long pants or long shorts. The restroom doesn't have any running water though, only some sanitizer.
