An important stop on the Pacific Flyway, - a migration route used by billions of birds for millennia - Lake Merritt is home to the exotic black-crowned night heron, Canadian geese, ruddy ducks, snowy egrets, buffleheads, great blue herons and more. Named America's first wildlife sanctuary in 1869, the tidal estuary is also a stop-over for thousands of unique migratory birds. Lake Merritt is the jewel of Oakland. Walking around the lake is a 3.25 mile walk. Takes a brisk hour, or 75 minutes strolling. Nice lake divers/walking/running/biking/rolling/soccer/pets culture. It's wrapped with fairly busy streets, and is very central to the Downtown Oakland culture. There is a running/walking group called Lake Merritt Joggers and Striders that sponsor races on the 4th Sundays of the month in the morning. There is a library right by the lake, one of at least 2 in walking distance. Plus Children's Fairyland and some cool community and city gardens. Gondolas on the lake, and a relatively new upscale restaurant, too. There is also a bird sanctuary there. We are also one block from Snow Park. This location has been voted "A Walker's Paradise" as most errands can be accomplished on foot and many people get by without owning a car.
