This video is about virtual Walk around Lake Merritt in Oakland California. The walk takes place near sunset, so the scenery is very beautiful. The last few minutes of the walk is highlights. Lake Merritt is one of the most unique urban spaces in the United States. Its three mile heart-shaped shoreline is the place for man and nature to migrate and mingle daily.

Lake Merritt is a large tidal lagoon in the center of Oakland, California, just east of Downtown. It is surrounded by parkland and city neighborhoods. It is historically significant as the United States' first official wildlife refuge, designated in 1870, and has been listed as a National Historic Landmark since 1963, and on the National Register of Historic Places since 1966. The lake features grassy shores; several artificial islands intended as bird refuges; an interpretive center called the Rotary Nature Center; a boating center where sailboats, canoes and rowboats can be rented and classes are held; and a fairy tale themed amusement park called Children's Fairyland. A popular walking and jogging path runs along its perimeter.[4] The circumference of the lake is 3.4 miles (5.5 km) and its area is 155 acres

Walk around Lake Merritt at the Sunset. The view is so beautiful 😍. If you are short in time, skip to the last few minutes.

Lived on the lake Merritt in 1975 to 1978. Back when rent for 3 bedroom apartment was $300. How times have changed.
