Great loop with many options. I wish there were posted trail maps that showed all of the smaller trails.
You do not have to be a Redding resident, I go here all the time and I live in Bethel. It's super pretty and I always see cute ducks and great fungi.

first and formost, NEED TO BE A REDDING RESIDENT!! This should have been in the information part you read. Drove 40 min to check this place out to only find out that information. There is a pond, wouldnt really call it a lake. Lots of bugs in area. And tons of people walkjng their dogs off leash even though its posted about 10 times that they must be on a leash. So, nice short walk, but dont bother if you don't live there.
Easy hike around the pond. Moderate one to the top of the mountain but the view is worth it. Lot of people dogs.
I’ve hiked here with dogs twice now and found it to have well-marked, nice trails. The dogs loved it and I can see how it’d be a nice spot to go to in the warmer months.
Dogs are allowed off leash anywhere during off season. During Mem Day-Labor Day no dogs near beach or picnic area but the dogs have a fenced in swim area around the side of the pond.
Brought my dog for a walk. Nice climbs for a good workout, fairly easy to navigate. Nice rocky terrain in most parts, beautiful pond people swim in during the summer, must have a pass to do so.
Great loop around the lake and some small hills to run on
Small little loop around the pond at topstone. pretty nice place for younger children to be brought along and swim during the warm seasons. Built a fort out in the woods somewhere in there 2 years ago but have not been there since building it.
