The Los Vaqueros Reservoir and watershed is located in the northern Diablo Range, within northeastern Contra Costa County, northern California. It was completed by the Contra Costa Water District (CCWD) in 1998 to improve the quality of drinking water for its 550,000 customers in Central and Eastern Contra Costa County. The reservoir is accessible via Vasco Road, a road which connects Brentwood and Livermore.By using our Livermore trip itinerary planner, you can arrange your visit to Los Vaqueros Reservoir and other attractions in Livermore.

We were limited to two short trains, one near each entrance, due to nesting eagles. Scenery limited to beautiful, large oaks - some partially submerged within reservoir, & barren, yellow hills.

Very serene and beautiful. Lot of people were fishing here. We came just for few hours and did the boat ride. This is a great place to relax and enjoy the beauty of Nature.
