elizabeth dahl: great park, when it is open. it is huge and just awesome to run around with my dog, but often I will drive there are the gate is locked during normal hours because of something that has come up. I understand that certain things will happen for it to be closed, but it would be nice if they posted them online for that day saying that the park will be closed. but my pup and I always have a really fun time :)
Kimberly Paniagua: Beautiful park, great for bird watching. Bring your binocs and clean out your ears. Keep an out for a Nuttalls woodpecker, Red Shouldered Hawk, Coopers Hawk and whoever has migrated in during the season. I typically spot an American Pipit too.
Bonnie Smith: Had an awesome time with the hubby. Erin answered multiple questions before we started. As escape room newbies, we didnt know what to expect. The two of us were in "the Reel" room. Just when we were totally confused at what to do next; Erin sent us another clue. Laughing most of the time, while running to see the next clue! We finished with just a few minutes to spare. Where did the time go? Highly recommended. Great fun for all ages.
Sarah Leydon: Great park! Spent hours there with the kids. They have a toddler water feature and a brand new play ground! More renovations are set to be put in place. Always clean, no homeless, great parking, awesome baseball fields. The basketball court needs to be renovated, i believe that is part of the upgrade plans. There are also a few places to barbeque. A great place to have a party or get together!
Kenoyer Jerod (JRod): This was my first time to Black Butte lake. This day we were at the main spillway overlook and checked out a few of the camp grounds. On the Orland Buttes side they have a huge group area that had horseshoe pits, large gazebo with a large BBQ area. Bathrooms with what look like shower. And plenty of space for everyone. Oh yeah! They also had a playground for the littles in that group site.
This whole area looks pretty awesome, especially when the water is full. If you dont like heat I would suggest camping spring or early fall.
S Romo: I went to do the hike and drove up to the dam. Very pretty in March. The weather was perfect for this visit and it wasnt too busy. I thought this area was beautiful!
Ann Salisbury: This place is great! Not too far from the city of Sacramento by car. A great place for bird watching and photography. Some small hiking paths and a visitors center. Its $6 for the auto tour only but you can get an annual pass for $12. A worthwhile service of the federal government and a place worth protecting.
Jesse White: Great addition to your admission price to the zoo. Really get a birds eye view of the black bears as you traverse new heights in the red woods. Luckily we visited on a quieter week day as I could see this being rough with crowds. Beautiful and well worth the visit and rating as best in the US.
