A lovely park with a lot to offer!…read more The Dry Creek Trail runs through many parks along the Dry Creek in Modesto. There are miles of trails, both paved and unpaved, where you can stroll, run, and bike. It is very dog friendly too! There are some very nice fenced-in tennis courts, playgrounds, and picnic tables which make for fun for the whole family. If you are into disc golf, there is a huge course throughout the park. Some of the baskets are placed right on the creek's edge, so you have to make sure you have good aim! There are some pretty bridges that overlook the creek and make for gorgeous photos when the leaves turn in fall. At the trailhead at East La Loma Park, there is a large parking lot with parking along the leading road. Even though there is plenty of light along the trail, I would avoid coming by after dark because the area can attract some homeless people. Regardless, this is a great park and community asset!

The ticks are currently off the charts active right now though. So if you do go, be sure to check yourself and your pets for ticks! Took my dogs and had 9 ticks decided to hitch hike home with us.

A beautiful hidden gem!…read more This is a peaceful park to take a stroll and look at our local wildlife. When you arrive, turn right down the gravel road into the parking lot. There is ample parking with a bathroom directly next to the lot. Walk just past the bathroom, and you will be greeted by the start of the nature trail. There are some informational bulletin boards there about the native plants and animals which makes for an interesting read! The main trail takes you under a beautiful tree cover to a fork that diverges into two other trails. The trail is completely flat until this point where there is a very slight incline. Both trails after this are flat and have beautiful views. One trail is longer and loops around 3 miles. The other, the Brush Rabbit Straight, is a little over 1 mile. The longer loop leads to a little lake and the other follows the creek. Along both trails you can find tons of wildlife. This place is huge for professional bird watching, and trust me, you will see a ton! There are rabbits and coyotes even if you don't see them, so be sure to tread lightly! If you come to visit, make sure to keep your voice down and watch out for animal scat all over the trail and enjoy your time!
