Smittle Creek Trail

Located in the Lake Berryessa Recreation Area, Smittle Creek Trail is a moderate 4.7-mile out-and-back hiking path that meanders along the western edge of Lake Berryessa, offering stunning views of the islands in the distance. This unmaintained single track is noted for its fluctuating water levels, requiring hikers to prepare for sections of overgrown vegetation and varying trail conditions.

The trail features diverse wildlife and plenty of opportunities for birding, running, and hiking amidst the picturesque natural scenery. Visitors are advised to wear long pants due to tall grass and occasional thorny plants, as well as to be cautious of wildlife such as ticks and rattlesnakes during their hike.
