Having a Blast in Castro Valley - Boating⛵, Bowling🎳, and Wineries🍷

Let's talk about the fun places to go in Castro Valley today! Plan to go boating⛵, bowling🎳, and visit a winery🍷! The day will be well balanced with relaxation and joy, without any stress. This itinerary is totally worth following! 📍Lake Chabot Regional Park 17600 Lake Chabot Rd, Castro Valley, CA 94546 First stop: Lake Chabot Park, perfect for hiking, boating, fishing, picnicking, and dog walking! Cost: *Parking $5, dogs $2, and people are free! *Pedal boat $28/hr, sits four people! You can rent a boat starting at 9:30 AM, and it's nice to paddle from 10:00-11:00 AM. The earlier, the better, because it can get pretty sunny in the afternoon. Don't forget your sunscreen if you don't want to tan! Briefly about the Lake Chabot, it's a man-made reservoir dug by Chinese laborers a century ago! Salute to our ancestors who literally paved the way! 📍Castro Village Bowl 3501 Village Dr, Castro Valley, CA 94546 Second stop: Castro Village Bowling Alley, less crowded and reasonably priced, opens at noon! Cost: *Rental shoes $5/person *Bowling $5/game I suggest playing three games, each with ten rounds. Playing three games for a group of three would take about 2 hours! There's a restaurant in the alley, and the grilled cheeseburger is just okay. If you're not picky, you can have lunch there to save some time for the next stop! 📍Westover Winery 34329 Palomares Rd, Castro Valley, CA 94552 Third stop: Westover Winery, open 12:00-5:00, only on the weekends! Cost: *Wine tasting is free *Buying wine $20~$30 It's a small private winery hidden deep in the mountains, with super friendly and knowledgeable owners! I highly recommend their fruity white wine, the Port series is so good, even for someone like me who doesn't drink much! Best sellers are Apricot, Orange, and Cherry flavors, $27/bottle, with the Apricot flavor being the bomb! Conclusion: Three-stop itinerary from 9:30 AM - 3:30 PM, enjoy life! #CastroValleyFun #LakeChabotPark #BoatingAdventure #CastroVillageBowling #WineryVisit #WeekendFun #OutdoorActivities #RelaxationAndJoy

🤪Our 1/2 Day whitewater rafting adventure!!💦💦

🚣‍♂️Our Half-Day Whitewater Rafting Adventure This weekend, my friends and I drove three hours from South Bay to Lotus in the north to experience the much-anticipated South Fork rafting. 🌞During the hot summer, the river was super cool. We chose Class 2-3 rafting, costing an average of $110 per person. 💧The 11-mile journey lasted for 3.5 hours. Often the water was calm, allowing us to swim and dive. We even had water fights between boats, which was super fun! Check out our photos, everyone had a blast! 👓Tips: 1. Don't forget to apply sunscreen and wear sunglasses. 2. As you'll get soaked, it's advised to wear quick-drying clothes and water shoes. 📍Location: Lotus, CA 95651, USA #RaftingAdventure #SouthForkRafting #SummerFun #WaterSports #LotusRafting #CaliforniaAdventures #WhitewaterRafting #OutdoorActivities #WaterFights #TravelTips
