We found this park on Alltrails as a 4 mile hike near the waterway that was dog friendly and…read moredecided to give it a try. When you arrive there is a large parking area but there were a few interesting characters hanging around. After walking out to the viewing area to look at the water, I saw a city crew come in to the parking lot and start taking their lunch so I felt safe enough leaving my car while I tried some of the hike. I started down the stairs and realized my dog was moving slow. On closer examination, the stairs are made with metal sticking out, probably to deter wild animals but regardless, it was cutting my dogs paw pad. I carried her down the stairs and the first thing I saw was a clowder of feral cats gathered around a huge pile of cat food someone had dumped on the trail. We walked for a bit but the high grasses concerned me and I was worried about ticks so we headed down towards the water. It was nice and I would recommend bringing a folding chair and sitting by the water far more than I would recommend the trail itself. I wasn't really feeling it and we headed back up. The trip up the stairs carrying my dog was a little daunting but good for me I'm sure. The bathrooms at this park were really disgusting and I probably wouldn't come back here but try as I might I couldn't find any other reviews of information so I wanted to add it to yelp to help others in the future.

Pros: convenient location, fenced, large area for the runners/working dogs to really zoom…read more Cons: no grass, poop left behind, fence very low for big dogs, irresponsible owners not minding their dogs. It has a lot of potential, if you wanted to throw a ball and let your dog really run. Or just let the doggies run out their Zoomies. I have a German Shepherd she usually runs two or three laps and then we leave. Please pet owners clean up after your dogs!

One of the strangest dog parks I've ever been to. It really is just a giant lot owned by a church…read morewith sand in it. Decent for dogs who need a lot of run space. Various trash and broken plastic lawn chairs strewn about. A sign by the gate reads "private property, use at your own risk." A sign inside reads something to the effect of "if you use this space, take care of it or the church will take it away." Not very welcoming, if this wasn't on yelp you would have no idea that it's a "public" dog park. Kind of janky and probably not always super safe, but okay for a brief stop in daylight on the way down the 99.

It was empty when I got there, but another person showed up after 5 minutes. It's a bit too far for me to drive from Modesto, but if you live near there, it would be great for your dog. Only thing is, it was hard to figure out where to park, so I parked in the grass under a tree. The road to drive into the park looks like a bike road, very narrow. It's right before the railroad tracks, and the train was going back and forth. You may need to wait to exit until the train leaves.

Okay, so this place is cooler than I expected…read more The recommended trail is just under 4 miles, but you can avoid the loop if you aren't up for that or you can easily extend your distance. We kept walking what we THOUGHT was the main trail and walked along the river for awhile, until it started getting rougher and less maintained, and ended up veering off trail to get back to our truck. We did about 4.5 miles, and it was mostly flat. So what's so cool about the place? 1. It's quiet. We never seen any other vehicles or people while we were there. Great for social distancing, 2. Parking and entry is free (unlike the busy park we had visited earlier today which was $10/car) 3. The wildlife! We seen a handful of large jack rabbits, some smaller rabbits, 4 river otters, tons of quail, and some larger birds. We'll definitely be back here again. Especially once the air quality clears up. Glad we discovered this gem!
