Reviews
A pleasant park, particularly suitable for mountain biking. The Friday visit wasn't overly crowded. The presence of a serene lake and benches allows for a delightful coffee experience with a stunning view. Definitely worth a visit.
This place is absolutely amazing. Make sure to wear pants there is a bunch of prickly brush along some of the narrower paths.
My friend and I did the Antler Point trail all the way to the top 4.5 miles and we chose to do the loop on our return trip which made it 9.9 miles. Was really intense for awhile (bring plenty of water) recommend getting there early to beat the heat.
Also be wary of wildlife we came across a family of wild pigs that added to it all. Worth a trek. See attached pictures for the views from my hike.
Lovely picnic, hiking place. Was there for a company picnic party, it is hot out there but beautiful. Be aware of driving on Quimby Rd, it is super narrow & winding, not a road for people who get car sick.😉 …
Beautiful park with clean restrooms. Wonderful during any season to hike . The car drive is really not for those with faint hearts. It requires skill also not good for people having motion sickness or fear of heights. We saw a snake during our camping trip. It was a nightmarish experience. We were totally sleepless the whole night because of fear of snakes and our safety.
Beautiful view and perfect day here: open space, lovely lake, flat, slope and steep trails. Along the trail there are some shades, grasses, water spring and some flowers, it’s wonderful! And It is nice to see San Jose view from the top of this park.
10,882 acre park with many hikes, dogs friendly.
One large lake and several smaller ponds are accessible for fishing. There are picnic ares and camping sites. Bring your water and map. There is no phone service in many places.
The park and the nearby Grant Lake are some of my favorite places to visit throughout the year. If you like wildlife, hiking, or beautiful scenery then this is your spot. It's Winter right now and Mt Hamilton has snow on it. The sights got even better. They have wild pigs, eagles, and so much more. 😀
We went two nights camping at April 9-11th.I love camping at spring to see wild flowers . The camping ground is far away with each other .They have clean restroom and hot shower. It’s cold in April .I brought many blankets and my sleeping bag is thick Enough . I will come back next spring .For summer, the camping grounds don’t have much shades.
