Court Lane Hill and Contra Costa Canal Trail

Starting from Treat Boulevard, this loop climbs over Court Lane Hill and Twilight Hill before crossing the Contra Costa Canal and returning through Lime Ridge Open Space. The route combines wide gravel paths with open grasslands, seasonal ponds, and sweeping views of the surrounding hills.

This 3.2-mile loop gains 347 feet of elevation, making it a great option for hikers looking for a moderate outing with gentle climbs and varied scenery. Along the way you'll experience a quieter side of Lime Ridge, where rolling meadows, native oak trees, and the canal corridor create a different landscape from the park's higher ridgelines.
