Fodor's Review:
The 155-acre Lake Merritt, a natural saltwater lake, sits in the middle of downtown Oakland. Joggers and power-walkers charge along the 3-mi path that encircles the lake, crew teams often glide across the water, and boatmen guide snuggling couples in authentic Venetian gondolas. California gondoliers is by the sign that says "Sailboat House, Gondola Servizio." Fares start at $45 per couple for 30 minutes.
