Didn’t see any wildlife. But highly recommend a hike through this field. We’re in Temecula and with Covid many of the wineries are either closed or very limited seating. So we thought what else is there to do. This place came up on Google Maps and instantly we got curious. Getting here is fairly straightforward. However there are no signs or banners or anything. Your gps directions will just abruptly end and you’ll see a wooden structure that has the title French Valley Wildlife Area engraved in it. There’s parking for about 5 cars right on site. From there, it’s a very nice trial that goes throughout the flat land. We felt our spirits lifted seeing so much energy and space. Definitely a change from the congested city life. Can’t wait to go back here again :)

We live around the corner and never knew these trails existed. Nice quick hike or bike ride with country views. Nice geocaching in the area as well.

Big open field, perfect to let the kids and dogs run off all of their energy.

Over 700 acres and hardly anyone is there except during hunting season. I love how quiet it is out there.
