The rolling hills that house Napa Valley’s renowned vineyards are also home to laid-back outdoor activities just north of the San Francisco Bay Area. If you’re hauling kayaks or bicycles, head to the town of Napa for a paddle on the Napa River or a bike ride on the Napa Valley Vine Trail. Hikers have several options to stretch their legs, from the redwood-lined paths of Bothe-Napa Valley State Park to Mt. St. Helena trails in Robert Louis Stevenson State Park to the nature walks of Sugarloaf Ridge State Park, which also features fishing in Sonoma Creek and an observatory for stargazing. Water enthusiasts can swim, kayak, fish, water ski, and launch their own boats in Lake Berryessa. RV parks can be found on Lake Berryessa, in the town of Napa, and in some of the state parks. Hookups are available at some RV resorts but are often prohibited during wildfire season.
