Lovely park. Nice trails. Trails range from 2.5 miles to 9 miles round trip. You can walk them, mountain bike them, or trailer your horse to the parking lot and ride.Beautiful views of canyons and falls from a couple of solidly built viewing platforms. Trails are well marked and they have maps posted at intervals to mKe it easy to get around.Unfortunately it isnt very covid safe. Lots of narrow trails and lots of people, often shoulder to shoulder, passing without masks. Hard to get away from the mask less once you are on narrow trails. Viewing platforms were also full of mask less folks waiting snacks or just being maskless.

Love this place! Awesome hike. Remember on the weekends you have to go online and reserve a parking spot. $4 for half day or $8 for all day. To get to hidden falls you travel all the way down the hill, cross the bridge and make a left. Follow the trail all the way down until you see some steps to the left. Follow those down and you will see the water. Once you do continue left onto then you will see the overlook deck. I have gone twice and can’t wait to go again. They allow horses on the trails too. Don’t forget water, the trail can get super hot!

This is a beautiful place for hiking and enjoying the outdoors. The waterfalls are very beautiful. I hiked the full outer loop of the park about 15 miles total! But there are plenty of different trails for all ages and skill sets definitely a must visit if you love the outdoors

Overall nice views and hike. In comparison to other waterfalls I have seen, this one is not at the top of my favorites list but it was still amazing. The main waterfall was not as big as I expected to be and I wish the area was a bit larger to view the waterfall because it felt crowded. When you reach the long bridge it is a great view of the water. There is a good amount of trails you can choose from which I would love to go back and hike on the rest. When you start the trail there is a sign you can take a picture of which shows all the trails and how long each of them are.

I absolutely love that theres so many things to do and have a scenery is amazing The hike will take a little getting used to make sure youre prepared this is the first time I hiked with my children water is definitely something you want to bring

Great trail with breathtaking views. Only downside is that the phone connection is poor (depends on your carrier and service) and the first portion of the trail has rocky gravel which can make it difficult to walk on if you arent wearing the appropriate shoes. Theres also a waterfall and river you can walk towards and enjoy as well.

It was really amazing area, we did the hidden falls trail with our almost 2yr old and she did great! The trail is NOT stroller friendly for any parents that want to try to bring them on this trail, DONT. There is an area you could climb down to before reaching the waterfall and you can enjoy the water. Will definitely go again!

One of the best hiking trails in Auburn. Its great for the whole family. Ive taken my kids and their friends countless times. Some days do require reservations tho so be sure to check their website first.

This is a great regional park to visit. I am in Auburn for training for work and was looking for a great place to get away from the freeway noise and get some exercise. There is a vast network of hiking trails. So many you could visit several times and not do the same hike. You can hike in, swim in some pools, then hike back out. Fantastic little getaway in the Auburn area. Thanks Placer County for this area. Keep it open.

Had a great time, there are plenty of trails depending on how long you feel like hiking and most of them all loop back to each other. The ranger warned us that poison oak is high right now so watch out. Also there are no working water fountains so come prepared! Reservations for parking have to be made on the weekend so book ahead! It was a beautiful hike, would recommend.

Nice 3mile loop hike. Easy path and the slopes were not difficult for the kids. Ours (age 5 & 7) got a little tired because of too much climbing and jumping around the water and rocks..but made it with only a little complaining. Mountain lions and snakes in the area, but we didnt encounter any Wildlife, just a handful of other hikers, families, and dogs.

I love the trails here. It offers a trail for everyones skill level and most are Stroller friendly.

Beautiful hike. My toddler made it easily to the overlook and down by the water. We had a good time and it is beautiful.

Well maintained trails. Parking can fill up fast. One must reserve parking online on weekends and holidays, check their website. Lots of people even on the weekday I came. Family friendly.

Great day of hiking with family. Easy trails not too steep. Hike to the falls was ok for an 8 year old to handle just fine. Beautiful views. Crowds controlled by the cost to enter and make reservations on line during weekends and holidays. 8 bucks for the day and 4 dollars for a first or second part of the day. There are cyclists and horse back riders on trails so stay alert. A great day trip for the family or the trail hungry enthusiasts.

Beautiful place for a hike. The bike ride was pretty tough though, especially on the way back up to the parking lot

We had an amazing visit to the Hidden Falls Regional Park. Make sure to place a parking reservation prior to making the trip. Its very easy and can be done online. Great valley views and the hike is fairly easy with lots of customization by taking different loops to increase distance and difficulty. This is a dog friendly hiking area, we look forward to returning in the summer.

Very big and beautiful park, very good for walking and very nice park waterfall. Very nice and polite rangers, plus don’t forget that to get there you need to register online before coming here, the fee is 8 dollars full day or 4 dollars for half of a day

There was dirt everywhere, and rocks yes lots of rocks and trees, cant forget about all the trees. My kids laughed, grumbled, and laughed some more, we escaped with only a slip or two but we did have to carry them the last mile uphill. There was poop everywhere, horse poop, dog poop, and deer poop, even ran into one of those pesky deer on a side trail. I guess when you come to hidden falls you are expected to share the trails with nature. /s5/5 would recommend!Bring water, comfortable shoes, a PBJ is always nice too, oh and bananas dont forget the bananas. We enjoy hiking to the falls and then walking a little further to the lone park bench for lunch and a pit stop for the kids.Remember to pack out what you pack in.

Today was a perfect day to get out and get some fresh air. The gravel path makes this an easy hike

Always pleasant hiking, especially in the rainy season. Oaks, birds, mushrooms. Easy trails, but long hikes possible. The Sierra foothills are one of the best aspects of California! Nice wheelchair accessible picnic spot too.

Probably my favorite spot to hike. Lots of shade. Beautiful views no matter which trail you chose. Be sure to get your parking pass ahead of time as the spaces go quick !

Nice paths and not busy on a week day. I was surprised they didnt charge for parking.

The paths were clear. We took our bikes so it was hard but we loved it. Was a great work out and we found a great place to get wet.

Great place for a nice hike. The many trail loops make it easy to take almost any length and difficulty of hike youre in the mood for. Bring your water and sunscreen, as some trails are sunnier than others. The observation decks are currently closed for social distancing, but there are still awesome views to be had.

Went there for the first time with the wife. She said its only a 3 mile hike, I said okay sounds great. Turns out the North side hike is 3 miles one way, almost 7 miles if you do the complete loop. Needless to say we did not do the complete loop. There are areas where you can gain access to a few swimming holes in the creek. Good uphills and downhills, bring plenty of water and some good hiking shoes.

This place is a gem. If you live near Sacramento, this place is a great spot to visit. Beautiful walk, nice views, quiet and plenty of local wildlife. I enjoy riding my bike here. I hope you get a chance to enjoy it too.

Amazing! Out here for work in Rocklin, so happy I made the drive. Awesome trails. Awesome views. Trails maintained very nicely.

Great mix of easy and challenging trails. Hard to get lost with well-located maps. Nice getaway from urban area, but close enough to access. Waterfalls!!!

Awesome place to work up a sweet and enjoy nature.

I didnt realize that this park had so many trails. We spent half a day here and realized that it wasnt enough time. Most of the trails are easy and occasional benches provide a break. Everything is greenest and blooming in the Spring, which made the hiking all the more enjoyable.

Wonderful place. Lots of well signed and well maintained trails. Horses, bikes, dogs, families, you name it will find a good time. Pay ahead to park on the weekend, but easy to do and they can scan your pass on your phone. Great time!

Nice leisurely trail with a running stream at the end. Some parts are a bit rocky. Watch your step!

Beautiful hiking area with a comfortable breeze, and mostly shaded trails. This place had so many trails to choose from, whether youre there to run, hike, or bike. The water is also nice and cool, so if weather permits, dress appropriately to take a quick dip if youre up for it!

Very nice place for hiking. Maps are everywhere throughout the park, which really helps to navigate and not to get lost. Beautiful landscapes.Beware: arrive early (before 9 am), because parking is very limited.

Nice place. I took my 6 year old son down the hidden falls path. He did really well the trip in but the trip out was another story. Downhill all the way in so its uphill all the way back.

Fantastic place! Highly Recommend

I enjoy riding my horses at Hidden Falls, but was very disappointed to see that they had closed off the water spicket so that when I was done with my ride I could fill that bucket up and water my horse down. Other than that, I love riding there.

Openly discriminated by park ranger refuses to take your reservation even if you have one. Turned us away saying he could be nice but didnt care. Said parking was closed but the whole parking lot was almost completely empty. Sad to see he did this in front of children. We were nice he didnt need to be cruel... Definitely not appropriate for children! As soon as I can will post video.

Had a great ride, although exhausting. Nice to get some outdoor time!

This was a really fun park to hike through. It had a variety of trails that ranged from fairly easy to moderate. Most of the trails were relatively well shaded so it wasnt too hot, even on a hot day. The most direct path from the parking lot to the main trailheads is completely uncovered and in the sun the whole way though, so bring plenty of water.

Really nice local park with MTB trails that are XC style. REALLY REALLY REALLY NEEDS SHADED PARKING. In summer the parking lot becomes a LAVA field. Not the nicest thing to come back to after a hike or bike.

Nice typical northern California trail along a creek that slowly crescendo into a modest waterfall.

A great place to take a hike. Well groomed trails, lots of signs to help point the away, and great wooden structures to view the waterfalls.

Very beautiful area. Gets packed but way worth it.

Hidden Falls Regional Park is a nice park with multiple trails and plenty to see. You can hike or bike and even horseback ride at the park. The two waterfalls and the streams are very pleasant and the surrounding scenery is gorgeous in the spring.

Sweet trails for hiking, walking, biking. Great views and lots of spots to stop for a picnic. Lots of creeks and waterfalls and pools. Reservations required on weekends. Go during the week if you can.

Beautiful scenery along the trails. The overwatch areas are nice to relax on. Make sure to take your own water or hydration. There are no other sources out there

Beautiful but long and hard trail plenty of water and lots of energy

You have to reserve parking on the weekends on their site and print out and bring your pass to leave on your dash. Leashed dogs are welcome on the trails!The hike to the overlook was nice and plenty of spots to stop so my dog could get a drink. Beware of horse poo piles on the trail.The overlook was quite crowded when we went on a Saturday and its a small deck so it was kind of annoying. But there is a little trail to go down to a nice spot and dip your toes in the water.

Great park with a variety of trails. Fun for the whole family as well as hiking enthusiasts.

I had hiked this area before but my husband had not so we picked a great day to hike. Overcast and not stifling hot. A great hike and making it to the falls was beautiful. Going during the week is a perk of being retired.

Very pretty but long trails if youre not prepared and no wildlife of any kind was seen on my visit

Really easy hikes - easy way to enjoy nature! Time passed by really quick!

Amazing regional park for hiking, running or horse back riding

The price for parking is great for the attraction. Bring lots of water for a great hike!

So beautiful! Very diverse hike with beautiful pools to swim in and amazing waterfalls you can basically get into

Awesome park, available for hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. Has 2 viewing balconies and a 8 mile loop around the park.

I did Poppy trail to Creekside and 7 pools, to Quail and back to North Legacy to its end and I returned South Legacy. That took 4 hours.

A nice morning hike. Many trail options, most are moderate. There is still a decent amount of water in August, so you can cool off.

Great place for hiking,walking, waterfalls was beautiful lots of trails ...

Great place to have a family picnic.

Worth your energy and time. The trails take you to beautiful views and waterfalls.

Great place- wonderful walk- remember to go to the website to get your parking pass before going. It’s $4 and worth every penny!

Great hike, its all down hill ( til you try and go home)

Highly trafficked park. It was pretty annoying that most of the time they dont charge for parking but they do on holidays and weekends. Requires a reservation to park and there are no kiosks onsite so it must be done online.

Nice spot to get away from the crowdsReservation only..

Nice day out with family. Kids friendly trail. You can choose between different trail options. Little crowded.

Ferns growing out of trail-side slopes. The complicated falls with safe overlooks. The rocks and wild flowers. The rich red color of the soil.

So many trails in one place. Remember to check before online for parking reservations before you go. Awesome place for gear shakedowns.

My daughter and I love this place. Go early in the summer time and bring LOTS of Water.

Nice place for a hike. Dog and family friendly. Parking fees apply on weekend and holidays. Placer county website has the information.

Thankfully, they prefer you dont print out your parking reservation, it saves paper. Really enjoyed the views and definitely felt the hike that night and the next day.

Bucolic and wonderful park. Decent and moderate hikes to the falls. Make sure you get the online parking pass.

So relaxing! Best place to hike

We use to go there no hassle. Been turned away last two times, no reservations. What a crock. A large population calls for more illegal immigration so we can pay more for what use to be free.

Varying hiking for all! Super clean and well kept park! The main loop is 7.4 miles total and it was a great sight. Will visit again for the other many trails that are spread out.

Gorgeous park with many hiking options from short hikes, to longer slightly strenuous hikes. The views are beautiful here

Amazing out door adventure hike bike fish

BECAUSE ITS BEAUTIFUL RELAXING CLEAN AND COMFORTING

Fun, a little challenging depending on the path bit very easy paths as well. Great resting places.

Shady, well maintained, a beautiful scenic drive to get to the trail head- check for ticks when you are leaving

Great lace for hiking and intermediate mountain biking

Very beautiful great place to take walks or go on hikes.

Great for hiking in the rain because you can get a good, long hike in while staying on the gravel path. Dont particularly enjoy paying for parking, but I do appreciate that it minimize traffic through the park.

Great place to breathe the outdoors and see the beautiful scenery. We did biking and it was not for the faint at heart. Up and down dirt gravel hills and winding small trails. Lots of fun and highly recommend the entire loop about 8 miles in total plus.

Very well marked trails with lots of good places to walk or jog.

Beautiful views and a lot of great places to go off the trail. Late fall into late spring is the best time because everything is still going to be green.

Was able to use our jogging stroller most of the way. Beautiful with the wildflowers everywhere right now.

RESTROOMS=☆☆☆☆☆ clean with toilet seat covers and plenty of toilet paper. No bad smell.Trails are well groomed so you shouldnt need full boots. I do recommend trail shoes for the tiny pebbles though

Great mountain biking experience and mostly separate from the hikers. Looking forward to spring for some more fun!

They JUST started charging people money to use this park... that’s really unfortunate because many people use to enjoy the free exercise.

Great ride today. There was a tree down on Otter trail. We had to turn the horses around

Great mountain bike trails with few crowds once you get away from the parking area. Wonderful sightseeing for hikers and families within 1.5 miles of the parking area. Bring your own water and remember the parking lot sits above the park so a walk is required to get to the sights.

This place is a hidden gem. So blessed to have these trails so close to home.

Gorgeous. Lots of picture opportunities, take your camera.

Great trails, beautiful scenery, great for the whole family.

Really nice place to hike. Just make sure you pay for parking on line before you go. If you dont they will still make you park on the side and pay for it on your phone, once you do that then you have to drive back around and show the park ranger you paid to get your pass.

Hidden Falls Regional Park, is one of the most beautiful and well maintained parks in the area. Theres plenty of trails of varying degrees, streams and lookouts. Theres almost always park rangers about as well. Bathrooms along the trails as well.You do need to pay and reserve a parking space on weekends and holidays. During the week itsy all free. We love it.

This park was great! The trails to get to the falls were clearly marked and there were also maps posted just so people didnt get lost. There are a variety of trails that can be taken and the difficulties are clearly shown.The hidden falls access trail is the best trail as it leads you down to observation points that are closest to the water, however, it can get a little crowded and difficult to navigate with such marrow paths and so many people.This park is super dog and family friendly, and the elevation change is small enough that people of all ages and abilities were able to complete the hike.The reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5?Parking and trash! When you arrive at the park, a ranger is standing at the top of the hill directing cars if the lot is full. If the lot is full, he will direct drivers to ither hikes in the area. Parking is free, which is a bonus, and we didnt have any trouble finding parking at 10 am on a Sunday, but the lot was filling up fast!There are many signs posted that ask visitors to pick up their trash and leave no trace, etc. But it seemed like there was a lot of trash near all of the falls just out of reach (otherwise I would have picked some up myself). Im not sure if it is possible, but trash cans would be nice, or a little better maintenance to make sure that visitors to the area can enjoy the views without being exposed to litter.Otherwise, this is a great little hike that starts out about 3 miles and is shared with mountain bikers and horse riders. With the additional trails, hikers can make it as long or short as they like!
