Coming from the freeway, it's a little past avocado lake. There are different spots to park along side the river. There is a playground for the kids. Bathrooms are questionable. I've hear stories about the bathrooms being unkempt, dark and creepy. Even swamp like. So you may need to figure that out. Other than that it's a nice place for fishing, swimming and enjoying a day in nature.

I was able to collect a bag full of things others dropped and left behind. There's some outstanding graffiti and a few homeless tents under the freeway overpasses. We did collect a few ticks on the trail and the invasive Golden Thistle is beautiful though it's fatal if ingested by horses. The osprey nesting nearby have picked out a great space. Bring a Table cloth for the table though or a bucket to wash off what remains of the people before you.

Gorgeous place, we took our engagement pictures here. It was so pretty, the bridge is beautiful and…read morewe went after the rainy season so it was nice and green. The hours change based on the season so be careful. We went by about an hour before it said they were going to close based on the online hours, and there was a guy standing out there pointing to his watch and we were confused before he finally told us they were closed and he was waiting for someone to leave before he closed up.

LOL I'll visit again, and just make sure to pre-book a jet ski next time. An error on my part, but was able to check out the surrounding area, and get some Vitamin D in.

Very disappointing experience. The boat shown on the website was not what we received (rented a 10…read moreseater pontoon) . When we arrived, the motor ran poorly, the seats were ripped, there was mold throughout the boat, wasn't cleaned when we got it there was beer bottle caps, there was no radio, and the speed was governed, which made the experience even more frustrating. For $1,000, this rental was absolutely not worth the price. This was supposed to be a fun birthday celebration, but instead the condition and performance of the boat completely took away from the experience. We noticed nicer boats they owned but when asked how we could get the nicer one they said just depends on what's available so you have a 30% chance of getting a nice boat since there was a like 3 nicer boats. We did rent jet skis which were very fun so I'd rent those again but most definitely never the boat. We left feeling misled and disappointed. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this company based on our experience.

The main thing you hear is the trees in the wind and the birds chirping! If you sit still a bunch of the squirrels come out. I counted 15! =) Little mini escape from the busy world! Relaxing and content! Recommended!

There is a view of the San Joaquin River that is quite pleasant, and if you try really hard, you can almost pretend you are out in the country rather than right underneath a multistory business complex. I've actually seen cottontail rabbits in the shrubs.

Decent alternative spot if your kids are bored with the neighborhood parks or jungle gyms…read more Avocado lake offers fishing, RV parking, swimming, and picnicking spots. I don't believe overnight camping is allowed, but you can book one of their grilling and table areas for your party. The lake itself is small and only allows "earth boats" on the water. I have no idea what an earth boat is, maybe it's just a hollowed out log? There is a "beach" area for swimming and suntanning, but the water sadly had a lot of trash in it and wasn't very inviting, even with the 100'+ temps during our visit. This lake/park area has two jungle gym play areas for the kiddos and a few older soccer goals with no nets. The cost is only $5 to enter and $40 for an annual pass. Currently, they're open until 10pm for the summer, but close at 7pm starting on October 1st for the winter season.

Squaw Leap…read more When the Squaw tribal people found out the European immigrants were coming closer to their territory, many of them " leaped " off those cliffs and committed suicide because they didn't want to be captured and enslaved as that was the case for many other tribes.
