Love this hike, it's so beautiful here! It's about 2 miles I think but it's gorgeous. They have horses at the top of the hill when you're walking towards the dam and you can hear a donkey making noises. It's a small quaint little trail and dirt bikes that ride through too. So if you have little ones make sure they stay to one side just in case. I like going through the tunnel near the golf course. It's kinda fun, then when you exit the other side you go through another one and there is a little water if you go a bit further in. Very peaceful little hike. Few years ago it used to have hills they made for the dirt bikes and someone had built a cute little flower garden it was really sweet. I was really sad when someone tore all that down. But now it's just a nice quiet hike you can take and it's near St. Jude my emergency room I go to if I need lol. Have a beautiful blessed day! Be kind to people always read more

Not sure if this "dam" is a park but the trails that lead to and from here are a lot better than some of the other trails that back to the residential neighborhoods. If you go deep enough, there's A few small trails (mostly bikers found here) but it's a nice walk for your dog and not crowded. You can enter in a lot of different areas, (enough to confuse me way too much to explain) but best bet is look at the overhead map and see where the trails come from to choose your parking. (I think the Fullerton sports complex park might be one of the easier lots and all you do is walk to the back and there's a trail entrance). Best of luck. If anything, you're always bound to find some trail heads in Fullerton. They are basically everywhere read more

If you are looking for a place to picnic, fly a kite, play soccer or take the kids this is not the sort of park for you. This park is really more for mountain biking in a semi-urban area. It's basically a small canyon with lots of dusty, maze-like bike trails mainly leading to the back of the Fullerton golf course through two tunnels underneath Bastanchury Road. You can also veer off to the Lost Trail which will take you to Brea Blvd. If you're curious you can venture down the Brea Reservoir and check out the base of the dam. It looks like something out of a Stephen King novel, which I guess is why I'm strangely drawn to it. There's also another area up higher (near another reservoir?) where local hoodlums go to break glass bottles and graffiti. There's a hidden little trail up around here too. read more

First of all, this is NOT a park. However I've been mountain biking here with my friends for the past 6 years and it's super cool! The plants there are always blooming year round and there's also a little river if you go deep enough but don't get too close. There is poison oak and ivy near the river so don't make the same mistake I did and go all in. Great place for dogs as well on certain parts of the trails. There are many trails that lead to 4 different trails so it may be difficult if it's your first time, but you can find your way back. Would DEFINITELY recommend. ALSO, if you want to go inside the dam, do so at your own risk! My friends and I found needles, shanks and other weird crap, so PLEASE be carful inside the dam. That's the only nasty part of the whole place. I will go again and get some pictures soon. read more
