Their website has great information in regards to the above activities, including parking and directions to trailheads: http://www.yolocounty.org/general-government/general-government-departments/parks/parks-information/cache-creek-regional-park. It's a beautiful trek, albeit challenging. The views at the peak are magnificent. BLUE RIDGE TRAIL TO FISKE PEAK: DIRECTIONS: From Woodland CA, take Route 16 West (Main St). Cache Creek Regional Park is on Route 16, approximately 40 miles from Woodland. After passing the casino, it's about 15 miles to the park's Lower Day Use Park Site. There will be a small sign on your left and you will see the parking area (bathrooms available). From there, take the dirt road on your left down to the bridge. Cross over the bridge and go left. Shortly, on the right side, you'll see the trail marker. BASIC INFO: The Blue Ridge Trail to Fiske Peak is 8 miles, out and back. About 4 hours to complete. It's a pretty steep climb with a total of 2100+ ft. elevation gain. The way up was almost entirely uphill. The hike is listed as moderate but I'd say it's a pretty challenging moderate. I did not know this at the time but after doing some research later, I learned that the trail continues as a 16-mile loop. TIPS: - Access. Since you have to walk across a bridge to get to the trailhead, you are at the mercy of water levels. I saw a review or two on AllTrails where someone said that the bridge was underwater and they couldn't get across. Not sure if there is anywhere you can obtain updates. FYI: We came on April 1st and the weather was perfect. - Register. Apparently, there is a register up at Fiske Peak but I did not learn about it until later. Make sure to sign it! - Sunblock. Bring it and use it. There were multiple areas in open sun and my boyfriend got burned. - Walking stick. Could be helpful because you've got such an incline/decline here. My boyfriend has a knee issue and the way down was particularly brutal for him. - Water. Bring as much as you can. Between the exertion and sun, you will need a lot. - Bring snacks/lunch. It'll take a lot out of you. - BUGSPRAY. Bring it or use it beforehand. Lots of bugs on this trail. Also, saw a woman who warned us about ticks because her dog had a ton on him. - WILDLIFE. This is mountain lion territory. I didn't see any warning signs but at the peak, I saw a lot of scat. Fresh and old (the desiccated, hairy stuff). We followed the path at the peak for a bit (not knowing about the loop initially) and walked right into a large swarm of insects. We got really nervous because it was very close to the poop and if I know cats, I know they like to go to the bathroom after a meal. So we thought, bugs = carcass. Either way, our cue to turn back. I was pretty paranoid the whole time because in 4 hours, we only encountered 2 other hikers. This was probably because it was Easter, haha. Saw a few small caves which seemed like perfect cat real estate. The entire walk back, I kept jingling keys and clapping. You also have a lot of large rocks on the path. Make sure to look before you step to avoid rattlesnakes. Good luck!

We bring the dogs here sometimes but generally its a nice park to lounge at or to attend local events in town.

We've been here since 2017, and we've been to literally every single playground from Butte County to Glenn County, to Shasta County, and even the Mount Shasta area. This is cute, but it's not a great playground. It still has these useless cement structures that have zero purpose, besides getting in the way. I remember the same type of useless structures that children we're supposed to climb on and then just sit there doing nothing when I was a child in the 1960s. These are from that exact same era. They are faded and deteriorating and just make whoever takes care of the park look like they don't give a crap. From afar, the plastic structures look new, but when you get close, you see they've been faded by the sun significantly and are probably decades old. None of the slides are good. Everything is made for someone about 3 ft tall but definitely not older than whatever age would be more than that. An abundance of swings to a weird level. I've never seen a playground with this many swings, outside the main playground at Golden Gate Park..There's just no great structure to spend time in. The structures end with really pathetic bizarrely tiny slides. It's a huge park that never ever has anyone taking even more than 2% of it up at any given time. They should use that space for an amazing park for this area since literally nowhere out this way from Glenn County to Shasta County to Butte County has a decent large playground. It's great if your child is 4 years old max

Additionally, I was treated to a couple of roosters singing their customary morning greeting. Sorry, no pictures of the roosters or ducks, I was still waking up and I was concerned when the ducks fearlessly approached my vehicle. Perhaps, next time?

Located in the heart of ridiculously cute St. Helena, this small, shaded community hangout is the perfect place to enjoy any number of leisure activities. We were in town for the day and looking for a place to eat some sandwiches we'd just purchased at a nearby deli. There weren't a lot of benches in town so we headed here. The park is overall well-maintained, with a gazebo, plenty of places to sit and a couple little monuments to view. There's plenty of shade from surrounding trees for those visiting in the peak of summer. I especially liked the little two seat tables that were perfect for lunch. I also appreciated that they had open and CLEAN, fully accessible public restrooms. This is after we were looking for a place to go in town and found everything, including even the visitor's center, closed to the public.

Unfortunately, due to the current drought situation in California, the water fountain was shut off. No splashing around under the dragon spout. It's a beautiful park, but there are miscreants who visit the park, probably at night, that do not have any decency because there was an occasion when a tree was streamed with toilet paper. There are also some people who do not pick up after themselves or their pets. The city provides disposable bags for pet owners and trash bins are around park, yet some do not discard their waste in it including alcohol beverage containers (by the way, alcoholic beverages are not allowed). These are just a few instances. Thankfully, there is a park maintenance worker who comes around during the day and clean up other peoples messes. I come here occasionally to walk around the park and get a little exercise. I do get a weird look sometimes because I'm listening to music and stop abruptly to do a step aerobic routine depending on the song and rhythm. It may look odd, but at least I'm exercising instead of being a miscreant. Keep our park clean, respect the property and appreciate it please!

There's a short concrete pathway, through the trees, leading to the Prayer Book Cross sculpture where the top of the waterfall is located. It's bordered by fencing for safety so there's no access to the water up there. But the view from below is far better anyway. Not a place to spend a lot of time (no seating nor grass for picnicking), but many cyclists, joggers, and pedestrians certainly pass by throughout the day. A nice stop if checking out the art along the Golden Mile on JFK. Tip for parking: if you park near the boathouse at Blue Heron Lake, there's a trail behind the restroom building that leads to the JFK promenade and is just a 5 minute walk to Rainbow Falls.
