Take the Zinfindel trail out and back
Did this trail twice, turned back around where there’s a little bridge and a bench on the Tony Look Trail. Took my dog with me both times. Be ware of ticks! My dog got a tick the first time but he didn’t get anything after I sprayed him down with tick prevention spray the second time. It’s a nice trail! My dog loves it there. Only “bad” thing is you have to pay for parking.... but there are always spots!
+ near city. Convince in terms of location is hard to beat.
+ dogs are allowed.
- paid parking
- noise from trucks operating near the dam site.
We meant to hike this trail but went the wrong way and went UP Lookout Trail... Immediately at the trail head at the Madrone Picnic Area stay to the left! The trail splits and almost at the very beginning and believe me, you do not want to hike up that big hill on a hot day with three little kids!
It was great, execpt for the cement factory across the lake making blasting noises blowing up their mountain for limestone. Scenery is partially ruined because of the cement factory's mark on the otherwise beautiful landscape. River is accessible in many spots, so is the lake. Wonderful trail exept for that horrible factory.
Fine but no short loop access
Decent trail for a quick afternoon hike!
This is one of my favorite hiking spots. Lots of nice scenery, flowers, plants, nice views.
Didn't like the sounds of gunfire throughout the hike. DID like that we shared the trail with deer at one point.
Nice walk. Very easy perfect for families. The river was raging after this winter storms.
This is a trail for people who may not like hills, there is only one inclined section up to the reservoir. Good views of the reservoir which was nearly full when we hiked at beginning of march. Very nice spring flowers starting to bloom. Towards the turn around lots of springs were flowing across the path, people had placed branches to cross them. Advise to bring hiking boots so you don't have to worry about the mud on your street shoes. This trail can be hot in the summer, bring water.
Good trail for hiking with the dog. But, there is a gun range nearby, and if your dog doesn't like loud noises the banging from the gun range may freak him out.
Nice hike to the reservoir with a nice breeze.
Trail is beautiful and always a pleasure.
Pretty area but LOTS of poison oak near the trail. Dress accordingly and stay on the path!

Nice trail, plenty of shaded spots along the trail so it doesn't get too hot. The trail is very narrow in some spots and there are a couple spots where hillside erosion has done away with significant parts of the trail and where one misstep could potentially result in a fall/slide down the hill.
This is a big area. We barely covered 1/4 of the area and it took us 2.5 hours. The hike was pretty easy though.
My favorite feature of the park is its closeness to mi casa. My second favorite feature is the view of the reservoir when you get up high enough and come to an open area. My third favorite feature is the abundance of wildflowers. Not so favorite feature? poison oak taking off and being all up in your face on the skinny parts of the trail.
