I recently found out about this place from a friend's Instagram story when they went. So I made…read moresure to plan a hike here for when I had time. I was able to come here in the middle of the week around noon. The GPS made this place easy to find. There is plenty of parking here at pena adobe park and lagoon valley park. The hike is located at lagoon valley park, so don't mix those up. You do have to pay $5 for parking, and the machine kiosk was broken when I went, but you can still pay through the park mobile app, which is what I did. The hike is listed as moderate, but felt borderline difficult to me (maybe I'm just out of shape). There is a lot of up hill when you first start, and because there wasn't a lot of shade combined with me going on the hottest day of the week (low 80 degrees), it did make it feel more difficult. After I parked, I was a bit confused on where to go so had to ask someone finishing up their hike for the direction. I was instructed to go up the main trail past the gate for the main trail to the lighthouse at the top. There are lots of trails here, but the one to the top of the hill is the most popular, and probably the most difficult). Once you park in the lot by the lake/pond, you cross the road to the grassy side and follow that trail to the gate that keeps the cows inside. There is another easier hike/walk your can take around the lake/pond, which is mostly flat. The views on this hike are great. Despite it being a little warmer, the breeze helped a lot. I liked the views and made it to the top after about 1 and a half hours. In total, it took me about 2 hours to finish the hike. And that's with a 20 minute break halfway going uphill. Going downhill is a lot faster. I'll be back for one of the other trails and how to bring family and friends to join.

Nice walk on a dry day. Would be super muddy in the rain. Seems like a place that's only good during a particular weather/season. Parking is $5+. Lots of picnic tables, some bathrooms and a playground available. We'll probably be back if we find ourselves in the area.

Peña Adobe Park has the oldest structure in Solano County (as early as the 1840s). CA landmark #534. Museum and Adobe tours are the first Saturday of the month. Parking was easy during the week. Peña Adobe Park has a lot of shade and one can also reserve space at the picnic area. The only negative is that the I-80 juts up against the park so freeway noise seeps into the park. Trails connect to the grounds and I was able to go for a hike and see the green rolling hillside around me. Thank you Peña family for making this available. I will return!

Adjacent camp blocking access to our ADA site? Ranger doesn't care but is super hostile about parking to unload our gear, because we couldn't access the site. Visited two weeks prior to our stay. Weeds in camp were knee high. When we returned they were waist high. ZERO camp maintenance. No cleaning prior. No taking the dirt for trash.

"Giant Lava Rocks--but no Lava, hardly any Volcanoes."…read more Hearing about all the lava rocks here, I just had to check it out. If there's lava rocks, there must be lava. And if there's lava, there must be volcanoes, right? This area is part of the Vacaville Open Space. The main (and only) destination is Drake's Point, which is the highest point in this vicinity. There's not a lot to see up there--just some big antennas and a crummy shed. There are several video cameras at Drake's Point. I'm pretty sure they're watching for lava flow. I was tempted to misbehave for the cameras, but I restrained myself. It would be so embarrassing to get arrested while on a hike. Anyway, you have 2 ways to see Drake's Point. There is a rocky, steep trail or a windy, easy, boring road. I took the steep way on the way up, and the gradual method on the way down. What's odd is that you have to hop a gate to access either trail. I'm pretty sure that's because of dangerous lava flow. I wore my lava-resistant Oboz hiking boots, so I was safe. The entire time I only saw one other person on my hike. There is a good reason for this--no one comes here! I'm pretty sure the other hiker was a volcanologist. It might be obvious, but keep in mind there are no restroom facilities or drinking water anywhere. So it was a disappointing hike. I just couldn't find those volcanoes. I'm pretty sure they're still up there. If you find them, could you post some photos?

When I originally decided to visit this trail I ended up near the police station in Vacaville. After looking at the comments I realize the wrong it is actually located on Woodcrest Dr. right before Wrentham Dr. The trail is marked by a yellow gate which allows fire access for vehicles. Follow this path up and you will come to another gate on your right hand side there is a large water trough on the inside of this gate which can be used as a land-marker ( super helpful) ! Once you enter at this gate you can decide from here where you want to go. If you continue following the fire access trail you are eventually reached the top which overlooks the city of Vacaville. Its a beautiful hidden gem, totally worth my time! Definitely a good stop to bring a blanket and have a nice picnic lunch away from the busy community park
