Kennedy Grove Regional Recreation Area

Kennedy Grove Regional Recreation Area (KGRRA), also known simply as Kennedy Grove, is located in Richmond, Contra Costa County, California at the base of San Pablo Dam. Created in 1967, it contains a three-mile hiking trail with an elevation of 760 feet (230 m). The Grove features many large eucalyptus trees, picnic areas, volleyball nets, playgrounds, and horseshoe pits. Birdwatching is popular here because hawks are almost always spotted. Some hikers have reported seeing golden and bald eagles around the reservoir. There is no camping allowed. Parking is $5 with an extra $2 fee for a dog. Dogs have to be on the leash around the lawn, but they are allowed off the leash in remote parts of the park. The park is open from 8 a.m. to dusk.
