A beautiful scenic view with life abundant. A childhood favorite for kite flying even though foxtails was the dominant plant thru the 70's into the 80's.

It's a great please to loose the leash and explore. I like the benches properly put every quarter mile or so, very clean.

FORAGERS: there's an ABUNDANCE of elderberry bushes. You'll also find some brambles, wild rosehips, Gooding's willow, and inedible gourds. Cool place to go for a walk at. Be careful though, the ranchers who live in the area think everyone is sus. They kept a close eye on me. Not just when I was near my car but on the trails too. They had someone drive by every so often, just watching... They won't acknowledge your existence though, they're just paranoid. Kinda funny since they put so much effort into it being a nature preserve for people to hike at but whenever someone's there, they make it unbearably uncomfortably with their dead eyes carefully watching your every movement. DO NOT GO ALONE unless you're ready to keep yourself alive. I don't trust them. I'm a white male and my gut was telling me that they're not worthy of trust. If you're someone who identifies as a woman or if you're a more obvious member of LGBTQIA+ , please bring something to keep yourself alive. Bakersfield is super conservative / misogynistic. Them cowboys think they're hotshots that can do whatever they want because they got a tail between their cowardly legs

A great place to make you feel like you're out of the city. They do a good job of keeping the trails maintained. I can't wait to see what it looks like when all of their young plantings mature.

I have found that this is a good location to take my dogs out and get some exercise myself with a little jog and being able to be at one with nature the only downside I have found that there is not much shade and getting to the water to cool off seems to be kind of difficult as well

Run. Saunter. Bring your dogs. Bring your kids. Stay on the blacktop path. Explore the dirt trails. Climb the hills to get your heart pumping. It's a great place to walk.

Like what they have done with this area which would otherwise be just oilfields. They have many trails walking/biking/horseback riding and through out they have saved unique tree systems and animals out here. Please keep it clean folks!

Words escape me...but this place ...serene, amazingly Quiet, you can walk slowly, hear thue birds sing, actually......almost hear God!...I wrould suggest...look down closely at the tapestry at your very feet! .you may the music..of silence!

Such a beautiful walking trail and natural preserve. Perfect for dates and just enjoying the day.

We love to walk out here. There is plenty to see. A lot of endangered animals and plants. Wonderful, natural habitat! And so close to home.

a good place to bird watch and walk dogs. single women should not go here alone. do not go at night. homeless camp's abound here and have a notorious reputation

Beautiful view. Clean. Place for entire family.

A family-friendly hidden gem. Clean trails, lots of diverse native plants and animals. Very peaceful and quiet place to teach kids about nature. Many tall trees for shade, with a lot more that have been planted. Informative signs along the trails. Bathroom was clean. Bakersfield Cactus in bloom was very pretty. Stands of Elder, Yarrow, Cottonwood, and Sycamore. Definitely a special place.
