I also enjoy how much events are held here! With the new parking lot they built, it gives so much access and space to enjoy the event!

I was looking for a different spot to do a walk and the Lakes Fitness Trail popped up on Yelp. I…read morehave driven through the Lakes when I've taken out of town freinds to see water in the desert which always impresses them. I first went to park at the Lake Sahara South Park, but the area is shut with a gate. I drove around and parked at the tennis courts area which appeared to be closed. I started walking west on the sidewalk to Crystal Water Way. I realized there that the fitness trail crosses to the west side of the street where there is a sidewalk. I walked along here for a while until I saw the first chance to get a glimpse of the lake. I crossed Crystal Water and stepped over a low wall to a fence where I got a good view of one of the side inlets of the lake. Along the section I walked on the sidewalk, there are a number of exercise machines and some benches to rest and enjoy the pleasant weather--which wasn't yesterday--it was quite windy and there were some sprinkles. Once I had crossed the street, I walked along the curb. The nice thing about the community is the streets are only two lanes when they could be four. This allows for a bicycle path on each side of the street and parking areas between the bike path and the curb. This is where I did the rest of the walk and where most people were walking. When you get to the roundabout, this is where you turn--the direction depending on doing the loop clockwise or counter-clockwise. In a short distance after the roundabout, I came to the Lake Sahara South Park. It had been open for parking, but the gate was closed and locked. You can walk in the park and get a good view of the main section of Lake Sahara. From here, it was just a process of finishing the 2 mile loop. I did take a detour in the small area where I've eaten in three of the restaurants. A note about parking--I'm not sure how much is allowed along the streets. I parked at the tennis courts. They appeared closed and the spaces were empty except for mine. Across Lake East Drive from the tennis court is a large parking area that is not being used. It was the home of a credit card processing center and it closed years ago and there are many dozens of places to park although it's private property. Do not park in the small retail area. parking is at a premium and is unfair to the businesses. This is a pleasant loop with an elevation change of about 40 feet so it's basically flat. Enjoy!

Loved it! Walked for forever with my girlies. I thought i would see more lake but it was coo!…read moreReally long trail, which wasmorelike long sidewalk walks.

The full loop is about 3 miles, making it perfect for a relaxing walk or getting some exercise. The trail is always clean and well maintained, and the friendly neighbors you pass along the way make it feel even more welcoming.

Great park to stroll and feel out of Vegas!! Dog friendly. Flat even concrete stroll 3.6 mile loop…read moretrail. Tree, luscious grass to desert terrain. Almost 6-8F lower than rest of Vegas in grass and tree areas. Best to go during the day (night is way too dim/almost pitch black in certain grassy areas). Friendly hiking style hellos around. 1 restroom area tucked hidden in the volleyball/kids play area with small parking lot by Peccole Ranch Park Association. Park times 6am-10pm times. Restrooms: 1 restroom (1 toilet, 1 sink) tucked hidden in the volleyball/kids play area with small parking lot by Peccole Ranch Park Association. Another possible option is when path includes waking by a different park parking area. Parking Tip: Free parking at the plaza with The Pint. There is a grocery market, bar, restaurants there too (grab snacks). This is one entrance point of the park. Or parking by Peccole Ranch Park Association. Overall, tons of entrances and parkings throughout the loop. 3.6mile loop stroll (1-1.5hrs stroll). It'll go through all the terrain areas, shaded and non-shaded. Including chunks of streets crossing, street sidewalk to the park, etc. The trail is one trail loop. It could get confusing because each neighborhood, or transition area may have other roads venturing out to the neighborhoods, and streets to leave/or enter. https://www.alltrails.com/trail/us/nevada/peccole-ranch-loop Activities: - Frisbee, random poles to do workouts on. - Many of the exercise access points are sad, kind of a joke though.....they put poles around as exercise to use it as back support for squats or such. I was expecting exercise equipment type access points but this is Vegas (limited outdoor life). - There 2 bbq grills, and 2 cement picnic table seating by the kids playground area. 1 was shaded for the whole afternoon. Surprisingly, not much kids around the playground as expected. Alot more people with their fur baby pups strolling the trail. - Picnicking: Certain areas, the park dips down in the middle, where it's more wet. There were a few puddles in the middle so watch your step. There's plenty of grassy areas and trees. Tables are actually shade pretty well for chunk of time. At 91F with shade, outside was semi-comfortably bearable. But at 93F, it become uncomfortably hot even with shade. Grassy areas are semi-hilly. They are slanted but possible to still picnic in some areas. Bugs: Yes there are mosquitos around, not much. Some random gnats too. Thanks to the cousins for suggesting this place awhile back. Their fav place for a long stroll. Funny cause we have friends living walking distance to this BUT they've never even knew about it. We visited in around end of May, and it was perfect weather/temperature for shirt and shorts from sunset to night. Visiting again during the day late Sept was warm but still doable.

Amazing Park which is really well designed and staffed with super enthusiastic and informative…read moreRangers. Parking is available and has paved walkways to the restrooms and the museum. The restrooms are clean & well stocked. The museum is beautifully done with nice touches in the walls and metal work. Nice & cool inside after the heat outside with a small gift shop with a nice selection of stuff from t-shirts to stickers, books, etc. All reasonably priced. The information desk is staffed by Rangers, ours was a young lady Ranger who was extremely informative and helpful. We spoke about the trails, possible wildlife sightings and staying hydrated. The Visitor Center is full of information presented in displays that are well done & eye catching. There is a small theater with a short movie that talks about the area and the history of what and how different fossils were discovered. The trails are well marked, recommend sturdy shoes, and plenty of water - it was hot and even with shade areas brutal so start early and hydrate, hydrate and hydrate. There are informative displays throughout the park. There are also metal sculptures of what once roamed the very ground we walk on today. A fascinating place to visit and I definitely recommend.

A mammoth roamed here! Sure right!…read more Actually it's been proven right here where this ice age fossil museum stands. In the 1960s, "the big dig," took place. During the 1960s, an ancient site, this very site was a huge trench! They have made it so you can walk the original trench that was dug in the 1960s. It's actually a real trench . Now not a lot was found! But mammoths here in Vegas! It's because the area used to be a lush green forest and at some point in history under water. They lay out all the layers of dirt, you can see the ages over time! It's incredible. Let's get our nerd on! They have highlighted a trail with animals that would have been alive during these times with the mega fauna. Now they have not included the flora of the past. But the animals and facts are all marked on a small trail . Walk and learn! During the "big dig," the funding was limited. In fact these show images of where the anthropologists and scientists camped here on site . The breath of the past is here! The foot of man can not be seen here in a large pattern. They have found stone tools that date all the way back to the 1880s, but they cannot prove anything. The mammoth remains are incredibly valuable. We had mammoth here in Las Vegas. Come and let your imagination wander! This is a great place for the littles of the family. The community is involved here with art lovers from all grades and their drawings in the actual museum portion of the exhibition. Your price per person is only $3.00! Come and explore and enjoy something different here in North Las Vegas!

I think that this happens several times a year, every year. (Otherwise, it was $18 last year. This is the private area. Less people here. More people are at the free areas.) It was beautiful, the trees, the mountains, the scenery. Sunny, with it getting dark (chance of rain), at times, and some wind. At first, we went to a table that didn't have any shade. So we went a little further away. We went to Parking section H, which was not busy at all. Table number 71. Overlooking large white boulders. We saw chipmunks, a hawk high overhead, huge butterflies, and pesky horseflies. Also, a loud grasshopper making a mating call. (Section E was Reserved.) TIP: wipe off the tree sap with wet wipes! Good thing, my MIL brought a table cover to use. We had sandwiches, chips, cookies, bottled water, and sodas. (Some people were barbeque'ing. There are grills, but I suggest using foil, because they are black.) The blue dumpsters are in the parking lots. The dual bathroom, also located in the parking lots, is porta-potty style. There is a sign to "place the lid down". No trash bins inside. No soap to wash your hands. Good thing, I have hand sanitizer on my purse, always. (There is a purse hook inside, which is handy to use.) We went on a trail, which logged in 43 minutes of hiking, Past Discovery Trail, to the Fossil section, overlooking the mountains. Gorgeous. We brought the new pup along, and he didn't have any issues. He even jumped over a huge log on the ground! There was a random bench near the Bridge, which we noticed last year, too.

Amazing views at the top! I went in June, and parking is fairly easy on weekday mornings. By 9 AM,…read moremost spots are full. There are bathrooms in the parking lot but like any park bathroom, they're pretty gross. I always bring my own wet wipes and toilet seat covers just in case. The elevation gain was pretty rough as a casual hiker, and there isn't much shade. There are a couple benches along the trail here and there. The most difficult part was the loose rocks/gravel that paved the trail, making it pretty difficult to get stable footing with every step. I'd recommend bringing hiking poles just in case. If I were to do it again, I'd probably start at around 7-7:30 am because it gets hot pretty quickly.

However , we didn't feel quite comfortable letting our crazy dog go 'unchained' in that dog park. Next time in Vegas, we'll be going back to this part/hiking trail!
