Great place for entry to moderate level mountain biking, with a nice approximately 1 hour loop that takes you past the reservoir. You will find many mountain bikers and some hikers along the trails, but it is not crowded. Maybe 5% tree cover, so it’s hot in the summer, but you can find shade for a rest.

Few trail options, so pick based on your preferred difficulty. Horses are frequent (I could see a lot of horseshoe marks). Can get a tad muddy just after rain. Also, it is mostly unshaded, so have preparations. Happy Hiking!

Great place to mountain bike for those just starting to the more advanced rider. The Lisa Killough/Cottle trail loop is a great 8+ mile loop for an after work chill ride or a XC workout.

Escape your Valley stresses and zen out for $6 BUCKS. The drive is easy enough but the entrance is under construction. Low profile tired vehicles are probably not a good idea if you care about your paint job. BUT SO CHILL AND WORTH IT

Jerry, if you and your dog see horses, call out to them to make sure they know you're there.

How much to get in for the day?

Depends on what you're doing. At the trailhead staging entrance, it's free. If you want to use the trails, be sure to use this entrance! At the boat launch area, I think you have to pay a vehicle entry fee which is probably $6 like the other county parks, and there's another fee if you bring a boat or float tube too. Probably the same as other County parks, which is anywhere from $5-16 depending on the type of vessel according to the sccgov.org website.
