I went on a cloudy day, and saw the trail does not have a lot of shade if you're thinking of going later in the day. Nice parking lot with one stall to charge your ev, and a Porto-potty. Maybe someday, but the trail leads to a loop and you have time to decide to commit to it if you want. I saw a few wild turkeys, many birds. Hawks fly pretty low. On this particular day there were a two peacocks on the trail looking lost. Such a gem for a leisure walk in nature.

Can't really hike this from the main road anymore, because they closed the parking area. So you have to drive to the back of the trail which is inside the hiddenbrooke community itself. Edit 6/12/2018: the trail is fairly overgrown and not maintained at this point. The trail is still hikeable, however you will be walking through tall dry grass and weeds for most of the trail. My legs got scratched up a bit. Spotted a snake wondering across the trail this time as well. Snakes are hard to see as the overgrowth obscures them fairly well. The first few hundred yards is cracked dry dirt that makes it easy to roll an ankle. I'm surprised this trail is this overgrown and not maintained given the money that is in that community. The trail is labeled at the trailhead. It is good for biking, horseback riding, and hiking. No dogs are allowed, however you will find nothing but dog shit on the main entryway for a good mile before it stops. The trail runs along some hills with constant incline and declines. However, it isn't all too difficult to hike. Half way through you will pass through a cattle walkway and enter the cow shit zone. There are patties everywhere. And you'll likely wander around some cows, but they scatter at first sight of you. The trail is clear for wearing shorts, however the ground isn't very flat as it is ravaged by cows on a daily basis.

The entrance is located at the base of the tree that is located at the 4-way stop…read more There is no shade on this trail so be sure to put on sunscreen & possibly wear a hat., The trail zig-zags so that there is no steep incline. There are some bushes that veer into the trail but it's not out of control, you can just work your way around it. Beware of dog poop, seems like no one picks up after their dog, EVER. It's a good trail to hike before work just as the sun is rising. It's short enough but still gives you a good cardio workout. I'll be back to finish the hike in it's entirety,

We saw lots of friendly people with their friendly dogs on leash. Ducks and nesting geese were in the pond and the native bushes were a profusion of blooms. Towards the Mare Island Bridge, the path turns under the bridge where we met some of Vallejo's local color ... The Trolls Under the Bridge. What a fun surprise to find them waiting for us! They sent us on our way into the Vallejo Marina. We continued past the Sardine Can and a very old ferry boat before retracing our steps. We could have continued all the way down the Vallejo Waterfront if our dog had more energy. Lol Over all, a nice place to hike and a fun thing to do in Vallejo.

Ok, you may be wondering why the 5 stars. I've been wanting to come to this place for some time now…read morebut for some reason or another, I just haven't been able to. Well, let me share that this place is magical. There's something here. I've been carrying around some deep negative emotions, pertaining to loss and grief, and this place, after walking around and letting myself roam free, was able to clear my head. It's no wonder it's in the middle of Vallejo. I'm sure I'm not the only not first one who has had some deep issues on mind while being here. It's a cleansing place. Before walking inside, I bowed to the forest and allowed my gut to guide me. Alert. Coffee in hand. I'm so grateful. After the small walk and journey, I bowed again in reverence. Cleanse. Enjoy. Also, there's plenty of parking and flushing restrooms, although not exactly clean. Just don't sit on the toilet. Also, who sits on public restrooms anyway? We all know it's not the boujeest of places. And maybe don't come after dark. Follow the light.

They fill up the gas for you (only place around that doesn't charge you for gas) and if you run low while you're out on the water they come fill you up. I want to especially shout out Tessa and Jennifer in the front. We ended up changing our reservation and they were so accommodating and helpful. Jeremy and John/Jessie made me feel so comfortable with all of my questions and really cared about my family and so being safe and comfortable. Will use them next time we come out!!!

Extremely disappointed with this rental company. The customer service was unprofessional and they…read morehad no idea how to deal with customers respectfully. The tube they gave us was already torn before we even used it. As soon as we got on it, it ripped completely, even though we used it normally. Instead of taking responsibility for giving us damaged equipment, they blamed us and tried to charge us for it. They first demanded $230, and only after we argued with them did they suddenly lower the charge to $170, which makes no sense if we were actually responsible. I would not recommend renting from this place. Poor customer service, damaged equipment, and unfair charges. Save your money and go somewhere else.

We were gifted a beautiful day on the river with multiple sightings of wildlife including fish jumping, ducklings, geese, and even a bald eagle! The best part was getting to see the kids do something, get scared, have a blast doing it, and then ask to come back for more intensity next time. I really appreciated the guides for their hospitality, humor, and kindness. However my main piece of feedback would be a friendly reminder that nature and outdoor recreational activities are a form of escape and respite from our every day life, so being more mindful of the topics of conversation brought up during the ride is very important to the atmosphere.

This is run by a lovely, local couple who almost felt like family in the short time we were there.

While we have used different outfits lately - we had a great experience with Russian River Adventures a few years back, so we came in excited to return. Unfortunately, this visit was disappointing, mainly due to poor planning by the staff. We booked for four people on a Thursday - my wife, myself, and our two teens (14 and 16)--with the expectation that we'd have two boats, which is standard for this group size. However, the team miscounted the boats that morning. When we pointed this out, instead of fixing the mistake, they pulled us aside and crammed all four of us into a boat intended for three, squeezing in an extra seat to make it "fit." Visibly frustrated, the team promised to speak with the owner and make it right (it was two high schoolers running it that day). I didn't argue and wanted to at least try to have a good time and not be that Dad. The result on the boat? A very cramped and uncomfortable setup that made the inflatable much harder to steer and navigate--especially on a 9-mile river trip. This wasn't the experience we paid for or expected based on our prior trips. The staff seemed more focused on moving us along rather than making it right. Still haven't heard from the owner. We'll likely explore other options next time around. Disappointed to see the service slip like this.
