Foothills Nature Preserve

Perfect spot to get your steps in and enjoy a great view from the mountain apex. There's also a gorgeous lake where you can fish, and plenty of trails. A good amount of parking is also available and you can park and walk the trails.

The Foothills Nature Preserve is a gorgeous place to spend an afternoon. It's really quiet and peaceful. There's nice views, some deer frolicking about, and plenty of space to relax. It does cost a bit of money to bring a car in, but it's not too bad. Definitely worth it for a beautiful place to walk, hike, have a picnic, or whatever. Highly recommend!

Nice quiet park with lots of trail options. Hillier than we thought at first. $6 charge is reasonable for a single trip. Very nice ranger at front. Would come back again particularly when rancho San Antonio and others are full

Foothills Nature Preserve is a peaceful escape. The parking process is easy with a credit card machine for tickets. The lake is vibrant with lots of fish, turtles, and ducks. We also enjoyed spotting turkeys and deer on the trails. A great spot for a quick nature fix!

Beautiful wide open area. Took the Chamise trail which was less than a mile and fairly easy with some elevation. Benches here and there to sit and enjoy the view around lake and view points. Also, saw lots of deer.
