There are a variety of trees here, large and small and there are several trails that you can enjoy. I really wouldn't consider this a hiking location but its great for taking a walk and pictures.

I wish I'd visited without snow. This is not a great snowy hike…read more My 15-year-old and I visited during snow season. Parked on the corner of 6S47Y and 6S90. Nice walk along the fire roads, but a bit long for the reward. By the time we reached the Shadow of the Giants National Recreational Trail the kid was bored. The recreational trail is hard to following with deep snow, and there's no real indication as to what you're going to see, except for tall trees of course. There's an outhouse bathroom a the beginning of the scenic loop, and I think I saw a picnic table. This would have been a lot more fun if we'd been able to drive to the scenic loop.

Jim and Wyatt answered all our questions and gave us some helpful hints. My group of 4 had a great time. The river is beautiful and nice and cold in this hot weather. The equipment we were provided was like new and worked great. I would definitely do this again. And the bus ride back to the car is in a new air conditioned bus! Doesn't get any better than this. And it's so affordable. Thanks Fresno Rafting!!

The trailhead is at Chowchilla Recreation Area close to bathroom at boat ramp. Lakeview Trail: two trailheads. One is at group camping. The other (free entrance) is at Raymond Bridge outside the town of Raymond.) This trail skirts the lake and river. (I added all 3 trailheads to Google Maps, along with reviews.) The lake and the terrain is beautiful this time of year (3.18.17) with temps in the mid 70s, wildflowers in full bloom, and the hillsides a glorious emerald green. We came for a short day trip but checked out several places for future reference. The Monument Ridge Trail, adjacent to one of the main boat launches was an easy 2.25 miles one-way (4.5 miles total but you can continue or turn around whenever you want). Besides an extraordinary amount of wildflowers, we saw 2 wild turkeys, one falcon, several hawks, numerous vultures, and one eagle (yes, we totally lucked up seeing the eagle)! We later drove around and scoped out all of the campgrounds for future reference, especially those with trees or views. At the group camping area, there is 4-mile Lakeview hike that takes you to Raymond Bridge. Of course, it would be an 8-mile roundtrip hike if you went there and back. I plan on checking it out really soon. High props to the overlook area. This time of year, the views are awesome, as is the very colorful lichen on the rocks. There is also a tiny visitor center with very clean bathrooms. For those of you who want to see the Memorial Ridge Trail hike, I am posting our satellite view, as well as numerous pics. Enjoyable day. Lots of people fishing and in boats on this Saturday morning.

There are NO tennis courts here!!! None! There are basketball courts, a skate park, restrooms,…read morebaseball field, and hockey rink, that's all. There's a space that looks like it's for Tennis but there's NO net. And there is a sign on the court that says: "Pétanque Courts". We came here to practice before my daughter's tennis tournament at Fresno State since it's only three minutes away. We're not from the area, and this was called Cary Park Tennis court. Do NOT come here expecting a tennis court. We had no extra time to find another place, so we just stayed here and had her warm-up as best she could. The plus side was the bathrooms were clean. We got here at 8:15 in the morning and it looked as if they'd just been cleaned. They are chained open.

I'm writing this review regarding the OUTDOOR INLINE HOCKEY RINK at Cary Park. It is located…read morealongside N. Fresno Street between E. Santa Ana Ave. and E. Gettysburg Ave. It is situated between two tennis courts (that are adjacent to one another) and a skate park. The park sign says the hockey rink is open daily from 6am-10pm, but the Parks and Recreation individual opens the gate to the rink at 8am and closes up around 9pm. It's a large rink, a bit worn out, trash in some places, can use a bit of sweeping, minor cracks that disrupt stick handing a puck at times, and there are a few slick spots from liquid spills. Other than that, it has a smooth cement floor, two large heavy duty hockey goals with netting, painted lines, player's benches, and the lower half of the boards are white painted wood and the top half is metal fencing. There are also functionally bright lights to turn on when it gets dark.

We…read morefound a nice spot away from the crowd because it does get pretty packed and we prefer to be secluded. A lot of people come here to fish and camp too. The water is always cold, it's too cold for my liking but if you go at the highest peak of summer especially here in Fresno it reaches the triple digits. I think that would be the best time to come! My son did not like the water it took him awhile to adjust. Entrance fee is $5 for those who don't know! Restrooms available and there's also a playground for the kids which I thought was really cool! Please I advise to be careful swimming. Those currents are pretty strong. Wear sunscreen and life jacket!

But now we get to make new memories with our little ones! I'm glad the water wasn't as high as other years. There was one year it was flooded! Like the area with the rocks and trees where it's more shallow, the water was high af like up to the benches where u eat. I used to love exploring that area and walking through the water and trees and finding spots we called a "jacuzzi" cus it was a hole with rocks around it with the water flowing. The water is freezing cold like ice bucket challenge cold!! It takes some getting used to but it's easier to get in when it's hot af out!!! Over 100 degrees weather is the perfect weather to get into this kind of water. There's plenty of benches and you can bbq there. Theres even a walking trail. Used to come there with my half sister and her man to go fishing when we were kids. I just love it, it's so nostalgic!
