A peaceful natural partition between Hayward and the adjacent Castro Valley, this mini wilderness is loved for its lagoon hidden within the woodland. In the summer the lagoon’s clear waters are a great way to cool off and for most of the perimeter there’s a sandy beach. If you’re here in the evenings and have the patience you’ll see deer and raccoons creeping out of the treeline to drink at the lagoon. You can rent a boat on the shore, and anglers come to Don Castro throughout the year to catch catfish, bass and trout
