Beautiful walking trails! There are a lot of geese, so watch where you step ;)…read moreYou can walk for miles or you can do a shorter loop. There is a map of the trails at the Hemingway St. entrance that will help you navigate your stroll. I wish I has brought a hat on my walk yesterday. It wasn't extremely sunny but there are some stretches without shade.

There are 3 trail options, the longest one 2 1/4 miles. Tip: do watch out for goose droppings as they can be found on the walkways from time to time.

This terrific area of BLM land has quickly become a favorite of mine…read more It's filled with hiking trails among beautiful oak trees, fields of wildflowers in spring, and is situated along the Sacramento River. The Paynes Creek Wetlands are also in this area, which brings a variety of migratory birds. The trails are also dog-friendly and mixed use - I've seen both equestrians and mountainbikers - but very lightly trafficked. Signage is light so I recommend having a map handy. I come here in particular for backpacking. The Yana Trail to Massacre Flat is an enjoyable seasonal hike, and the ability to camp overlooking the river is just plain awesome.

It is the highlight of any trip to this area. There is also an animal show. I suspect it is directed towards kids than adults. However, I did learn some facts about animals and I did enjoy the show. A fox jumped. Birds flew freely. And I was thrilled when Spike the porcupine stopped and sniffed my foot If you were terrified by the classic Alfred Hitchcock movie "The Birds" the lorikeet enclosure might not be the place for you. For an extra dollar you can purchase a cup of nectar. The birds will land on your arms and head just to drink from the cup in your hand. These birds are beautiful. They are also fearless when they realize you have nectar in your hands. The butterflies like it when it is warm. This year I had to go twice, the 109 degree days were even too hot for butterflies. The animal show had to go inside, it was just too hot for them to show off. The lorikeets did not seem to mind the heat at all.

My husband and I moved here 3 years ago to be near our son and his family, who also reside here…read more It's very pretty here and our immediate neighbors are very nice. If you love animals this is a good neighborhood for you. Lots of deer, raccoons, opossums and coyotes. The deer will come right up on the patio to lay in the shade or eat my cat's food. There is an POA/HOA so there are rules, but most of them make sense, like keep grass down to prevent fires. The drive up and down Lake California Road is only about 5-6 miles and I use it to relax and change gears. Redding is roughly 10 miles away which separates L.C. from the craziness of the city. Overall a nice place to live!!

The community is bounded by Cottonwood Creek and the Sacramento River, and built around a freshwater lake fed by the Sacramento River. Lots of planned weekly activities occur at the clubhouse, that overhangs the lake. The club house has deck views of surrounding Cattle ranches, orchards, farms and the peaks of Lassen National Park. $2.00 drinks at the bar makes for a great place to meet neighbors and chat. Mini-market, and Lakeside Pizza ( and bakery) are inside the community. Good local schools, and a historic downtown in adjacent Cottonwood. Historic Cottonwood features darling antique shops, family restaurants, financial services, appliances, beauty parlors, and a great grocery store. And the locally famous OK Corral has weekend music. More Cows, horses and deer in the area than people. 15 minutes to Red Bluff, or Redding. A super Walmart, and Factory Outlet mall 8 miles away with a great Movie theatre.
