Trail Information

A level walk of 1.5 miles takes you to the best overview of Castle Rock, a spectacularly eroded pinnacle looming high above. A Regional Park trail from the trailhead skirts the Castle Rock Park facilities and meets the old stagecoach road to Mt. Diablo. Follow this road along Pine Creek; it runs along the boundary of Diablo Foothills Regional Park up to the State Park gate and to the Castle Rock overlook just beyond.

Directions

From Walnut Creek:
The trailhead is located at the Castle Rock Road (an extension to Oak Grove Road).
