While I would recommend avoiding all contact with the water, one of the lake's hidden gems is the gondola service:







The Ordway Building, Oakland's tallest, is connected with the nearby Kaiser Center via skybridge.











The 28-story Kaiser Center (1960), Oakland's tallest building at the time. Henry Kaiser's business empire included shipbuilding (Kaiser Shipyards), construction and engineering, aluminum and steel, automobiles (Kaiser Motors), and Kaiser Permanente, the largest HMO in the U.S. Plans to construct two additional towers on the Kaiser Center site (34 and 42 stories) passed environmental review but have yet to begin construction.
