That&#8217;s less than <a href=\"https:\/\/oaklandmofo.com\/blog\/lake-merritt-facts\">walking around Lake Merritt<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Sausal Creek Trail Dimond Park<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"dimond park creek\" src=\"https:\/\/oaklandmofo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wpid-dimond-park-creek.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nThe whole walk down the trail you have Sausal Creek running alongside of you. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"dimond park trail\" src=\"https:\/\/oaklandmofo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wpid-dimond-park-trail.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nAs you walk down the Sausal Creek Trail you are surrounded by a canopy of trees. You really forget you&#8217;re in Oakland.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"liemert bridge\" src=\"https:\/\/oaklandmofo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wpid-dimond-park-bridge1.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nAt some point, you come under the Liemert Bridge which spans high across Dimond Canyon.<br \/>\nIt is located in the Oakmore neighborhood off of Park Blvd up Sausal Creek Trail.<br \/>\nIt was the largest single-span bridge on the West Coast when it was built in 1926.<br \/>\nIt became a City of Oakland landmark in 1980.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/oaklandmofo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wpid-dimond-park-liemert-bridge-graffiti1.jpg\" alt=\"liemert bridge graffiti dimond park blvd oakmore\" width=\"500\" height=\"369\" \/><br \/>\nAs you can see there is a lot of graffiti under the Liemert Bridge.<br \/>\nYou can actually climb up the hill to the top of the bridge. I have done this many times as a kid. When you&#8217;re a kid things just generally feel bigger. Well, I climbed up the bridge as an adult and it still feels really big. Try it, but don&#8217;t hurt yourself!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"liemert bridge looking down\" src=\"https:\/\/oaklandmofo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/wpid-dimond-creek-bridge.jpg\" \/><br \/>\nAnd here is a tilt-shift picture from the top of the bridge. It&#8217;s pretty far down there.<\/p>\n<p>So in conclusion you should go check this trail out. Oh and sorry for all the yellow-green tinted photos.
