The Berkeley Lab Postdoc Association is an organization run by and for about 1000 postdocs and early career scientists working at the Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. We organize many activities to strengthen our ties to the Lab, to each other and to the (Berkeley) Bay Area. Our goal is to facilitate social interactions, scientific exchanges, seminars and general orientation.
 
Kayaking @ Lake Chabot

Kayaking @ Lake Chabot

Living in the Bay Area means we should not only explore the land, but also the water of this place. After proper research, the perfect activity had been found for this: kayaking! Sitting on a boat paddling at a leisure pace, enjoying the water, the sun and the wind.

It has been done on Lake Chabot, a beautiful lake in the hills at San Leandro. Once formed to collect water for the residents in the East Bay, now it also serves as a recreational area. This calm water in the large lake makes it ideal for beginners and for experienced people to enjoy the surroundings.
