Upon arriving we found a lot of broken glass in the parking lot leading us to read more of the reviews to only realize this place has a lot of car break ins… we risked it anyways and took the hike. I would imagine in the spring and summer this place is much prettier to walk through. The waterfall shown in all the photos is found because of a damn a short walk back from the parking lot. Over all it is a pretty walk and would be great for brining a dog to. When we arrived back at the parking lot there were 2 cop cars but the cops were no where to be found as we also didn’t see them on the part of the trail we were on. I guess hikers beware.

Really pretty and beautiful trail for an outdoorsy man like me. I didn’t even sweat lol. If you break even a single sweat on this trail then go get a prescription to Ozempic

Always a great spot to get outside and get some sun! Lots of trails, enough water flowing to swim in at the end of December! Lots of opportunities to enjoy the abundant plants and trees in the area. Only downside is always lots of broken glass in the parking lot.

Easy walk/run loop trail or out-and-back. One of the more flatter running trails on the west side. Some of the best scenery- beautiful clear water creek along a plateau ridge, turtles, fish, plant life, trees during the fall! If it’s not busy I run with my dog off-leash because he trots next to me and doesn’t stop for other dogs. But the trail can be narrow in parts. So watch out for bikers.

Really beautiful hiking spot, but be aware that break-ins are not uncommon in this lot. There are lots of great trails crisscrossing the park. The longest loop you can make is about a mile, with quite a bit of it running along Bull Creek. If you just want to get straight down to the water it's probably just a quarter mile hike or so from the lot. There's a detailed trail map at the trailhead and the color-coded trails are really well marked at all junctions. A few steep climbs down into the valley, but overall a nice smooth path. The trails aren't paved, just dirt/rock. If you come, put your valuables in your trunk and even consider leaving your center console and glove box open to show there aren't any valuables to grab. Might save you from replacing your window. 🙃
