Things to Do

Lamorinda’s outdoor spaces are a major reason people move here. Rolling hills, reservoirs, miles of trails, and weather that lets you enjoy them year-round. Here’s how to make the most of it.

The Must-Dos

• Lafayette Reservoir — The crown jewel. Walk, jog, kayak, or just sit by the water.
• Lafayette-Moraga Trail — Paved path connecting two towns. Great for bikes, strollers, and morning runs.
• Orinda Theatre — Catch a film in an 80-year-old Art Deco landmark.
