Foggy in the morning from 8am till 10am. And then it starts to clear up.Nice scenery.

* Nice bay area view.* Easy hiking loop ( Morrison canyon rd. --> Golden Eagle Trail --> Deer Gulch Loop trail )

Nice hiking trails. Gentle and very scenic. Only drawback is very small parking area .. great view of sunset by the bay.

Easy fire road hike. Scenic views of the bay. See if you can find mortars used by the indigenous peoples at the top.

On your way here drive carefully as it is one lane road for two way traffic. You will commonly see bicyclists on this road.The parking lot is limited so beware of the possibility of it being full. I did see enforcement at the park on my visit.Dogs can be off leash here if the cows arent present. My dog had a great time off leash and there are plenty of other dogs on the trail too.Bicyclist are on the trail too so keep an eye out for them.Easy trails, good views, kind of out there but worth the drive. Very enjoyable and will come back again.

This one of the best park nice view good for hiking biking walk and exploring and get very good time with family & friends

Great park! Amazing view of the rest of the bay area. Very little traffic on weekends too; the ride up and down is just as enjoyable as the hike itself.

Good view of the south bay (if you ignore power lines), wide trails, small amount of parking, but I still like it as my local spot.

This trail is really lonely. You’ll hardly find any people here and can feel scary at times. The hoard on the trail head says there are rattle snakes in the area. Also I have heard some not so good stories about it’s trailhead on Fremont side. I didn’t know anything about it when we hiked here the first time but after hearing things, we may not go back. I’d recommend on using your caution if you want to hit these trails. But anyway, the trail is great by itself. Great bay views.

Big parking lot and good space for comfortable hike for beginners and regular hikers

Calm quiet place to enjoy natures beautiful atmosphere.......

One of the best place to watch sunset in bay are

Great view to see the bay and salt flats. 71 degrees with lots of wind while it was 82 down in the flatland. Seen horses cows bulls. Be careful of the narrow road

Nice easy 4 mile hike. Bonus, bathrooms are open.

The views from this quiet park are fantastic. We happened to visit on a day after a rainstorm, so the smog in the valley had been washed away. It was an unplanned visit so we hadnt bought water or binoculars. Well be better prepared next time.

Came here on a cloudy day, otherwise there are no trees and shades for a sunny hot day. You can see the bay while hiking the trail. A little windy on the day, so not finish up walk all the way, may return some other day.

Beautiful paradise. It gives me relaxation and calmness.

Love walking here, hiking, taking my dogs, they a bathroom. Peaceful as well. Can be hot tho. Not much shade.

Less populated hike with fabulous 360 views. There is a bathroom at the trailhead and a small parking lot. The trail is really just an old cow road complete with cows still there. We went when the cows had calves, so they were a bit territorial and nervous when passing by them. Witnessed one overly nervous hiker get chased by a protective mama. There are a couple different trails to take, one of which goes down to the bottom of Morrison canyon. Its a pretty easy hike but there is still elevation involved.

Dont walk straight up the hill to the bench, if you do you will corrode the dirt and make a goalieTwo locals told me that

Love this park. Can be hot during summer as there isnt much shade. But going in the early mornings, or late evening is perfect. Not much traffic, thank goodness. Just a small park with excellent views. Take my pups here. And they have a clean bathroom. Yes clean bathroom. Be kind dont trash the area. Pick up after your pets. Be respectful.

Typical east Bay ranch that pretends to be a park. Steep dusty fireroads and cows. Nice views and a good workout

Gentle rolling hills.

Easy trail, can get windy, carry water for the dog as well.

Beautiful place to hike. Lots of cows grazing on the trail and a few fun rocks to climb.

We visited on a crystal clear Sunday afternoon and the view was fantastic - at the top of the trail overlooking the town of Niles, we could see all the way to SF and Marin county and all around The Bay. The hills are now a healthy green and plenty of cattle out and about. We also saw several raptors hunting. We hiked about 4 miles total and the trails are wide and not too steep. I will definitely head back to this spot to see how it changes with the seasons and time of day. I dont know when or if there are busy times but the parking lot is not too large - there were only 2 spots left when we arrived around 3 and none when we returned. They do have 2 handicapped spots and a toilet in case you were wondering.

Its such a serene place. And in winters its even more beautiful with lush green mountains.

A truly wonderful place to go, especially at sunset. The grouping of rocks is a really special place that resonates with strange history. Keep your eyes out for the endemic Yellow Billed Magpie. I’ve seen them both near the parking lot and further up the hill where you pass through the gate. You’ll see them on fence posts or foraging in the grass. They tend to hang out in a group and are quite chatty. If you manage to spot them, do yourself a favor and watch them for a moment. Quality entertainment ️

Bit of a hidden gem. Not usually busy, great for letting dogs run off leash. Short hike though.

Was a nice family hike. We have a 7 year old and she was able to make it.

Great hiking place. Great view with animals to look around.

Beautiful place.. good view of Fremont

Beautiful views from relatively easy hiking trails.

Still here while writing this and pretty sure Ill be kicking myself for years to come for not coming here sooner. Been hiking in San Jose hills, Hayward Hills, Livermore, and other places, but never Fremont. Usually stick to Coyote Hills Regional Park and Don Edwards Wildlife Refuge. Spectacular views, a nice hike, and cows.

This place is amazing, great, and definitely offers a new, recently-opened, experience. The park offers a great view from above, allowing anyone to see all the way to the the tip of the peninsula, on a cloudy day, anyways, from the amazing provided viewing area. In addition, the park has a new, recently built bathroom, as well as a decently-sized expanded parking lot. The trails are relatively narrow and short, compared to other parks, but still offer hikers, bikers, and riders a scenic view of the South Bay, Niles Canyon, and potential view of the Sunol Town Area. The trail also leads the explorers through a small forest, through the hills, past ponds and streams, and past dense fields of grass. Beware though, since the park is relatively new you may encounter snakes, through they seem to be afraid of people, as theyre really small. However, you may meet other interesting creatures such as ground squirrels, lizards, and even potentially turkeys and deer. In addition, be aware of the approaching road to the park from Morrison Canyon Road, as it is only a one lane paved alley, shared by two way traffic, hikers, and bikers. Although it has turnabouts, it is highly suggested to approach from Highway 680, where there is a mostly two laned bidirectional road. Besides that, this is definitely an amazing place to check out for riding, hiking, nature watching, and photography!

Deer Gulch Trail. Unsafe.Dog owners flouted the park rules by not leashing their dogs at all time. STAY AWAY from this park.

Not sure why this is a park, to be honest.

My dads aunt and uncle, who also were his Godparents, owned this land, thus the Vargas! Old Portuguese dairy farmers. I love it!!

Beautiful place to walk up the hills. Its mushy because of the rains. Wear sturdy shoes and comfortable clothing.

Beautiful view which would be even more beautiful during fall or spring. The area to use seemed pretty small. It looked like there was a walking path but not sure. Restroom was a small single person permanent structure, but theres no sink to wash with. There is however a running faucet down by the one picnic table. Would be nice if there were more picnic tables as well. Road to get there is pretty bumpy so take it slow.

Good to start a hiking season. Start the hiking from bottom of Fremont if interested in light workout.

Good place to get a quick hike in youre in a hurry. The hike is moderate in difficulty, has little shade, so make sure to have ample water on hot days. I recommend this hike in the early morning. The view from the Plateau gives you a nice view of Fremont, the Bay, and even Mission Peak. Be careful and watch out for a lot of cows, but they are relatively chill.

Beautiful views of bay area

So cool a little solitude close to a busy freeway

Great hike, moderate difficulty but trails were muddy due to the recent rains

Nice hike, moderate. Takes 2 hours going from gate at the bottom and coming down from the paved road.

Absolutely beautiful. Well worth visiting.

Very quiet park. It was nice to have a quick walk before sunset and enjoy the gold shaded landscape. It is a hidden gem.

One passes through Pine trees and steep roads to reach this place. People get surprised to see this location amidst the busy San Jose township.We also saw a lot of horses on the way. At the site, we saw a number of cows and buffaloes. In a true sense, it is not a park! There are no eating joints.But it is Good for Cycling & trekking! One can carry packed food to eat, if hungry after a long trek. It has good viewpoints. If you are a local, you can easily identify different localities including SFO and SF. One can take the family for a day out!

Very scenic and beautiful trail

Go watch the sunset. U wont regret. Travel is bit odd coz of one way.

This is a very family friendly place.

Best view point of fremontno people and quietGood for dating with your love I guess

Amazing views... must visit when the grass is all green in January

Moderate hiking with some inclines to get to beautiful views of Fremont and Mission Peak. However, no shade and plenty of cows and cow patties.

Golden eagle trial is good for a short hike with kids. The view of the bay and cows around are great. The trail is not too steep either. It gets muddy during wet patches also watch out for cow dung along your way. I suggest this trail for people that want to start hiking with kids.

Lovely green rolling hills in springtime.

Hike up the nature with moos. Nice for day time exercise and late night photo spot for East Bay city light or illuminated stargaze.

Great views and easy hikes along the trails.

Beautiful views of the Bay and Fremont.

Excellent place for a day hike. Fun, beautiful, and expansive.

Wonderful views for those willing to make the track up...

Good for walking and biking

Beautiful when its all green. Not so strenuous hike. Calm and quite. Beware of lot of cows on the trail.

Great view from the view point

Is an nearly undeveloped park mainly featuring parking and trail access ... To trails along the skyline with views over the Bay. Come for the trails, or for a quiet place to eat lunch, and enjoy the nature that is all around us

The cow on this trail scared me. So I turned back. But the sunset was very beautiful and less traffic trail.

Close to City but quiet place

Very beautiful place to watch sunset.

Nice view

Nice new park. The view must be super on a clear day. Encountering the free range cattle is always a little unsettling. I have found moving slowly while speaking softly and not making eye contact seems to work. Picked a good day to go, it was not too hot. I am sure it can be a very hot hike.

Nice views of rolling hills. Easy hike on Golden Eagle Trail.Some grazing cows near the trail (not separated out by fence). Up ahead you get views of the Bay.Limited parking for maybe 15-20 cars, but not too crowded so parking was not a problem

Great place to run

Its a great walk in the green and above the city noise... Watch for the cow pies!

Great hike. Amazing views. Cows arent too friendly.

Spectacular 360 degree views of the south Bay and hills

Great views. Nice trails

If you enjoy urban views from beautiful meadows and oak grasslands, this is the spot for you.

Beautiful hike. Well marked trails with amazing view of the Bay and the city of Fremont. Great place for a hike, bike ride or picnic.

Just standard neighborhood trails

This is a nice easy hike with wonderful views of the bay. The rolling hills are a beautiful green in the spring.

Nice close hike that gives you a very different perspective of the city of Fremont. It is a quick climb to the peak and close up view to Quarry Lakes and Lake Elizabeth has you wondering where other landmarks are in the city. It is a relatively short hike (less than 4 miles if you take the loop on the cattle trail) and will be fully exposed. Best time to hike would be during the cool morning or just before dusk.

Great dog walk, but no shade.

Easy hike with several trails, on a Saturday afternoon we ran into only 2 other parties so love the fact its not crowded. Decent views and a bathroom (no sink) at the entrance.

Great views and fun hiking

Quiet rolling hills

Amazing new park in my backyard. Now I no longer have to worry about getting ticketed by a ranger when I go for a quick mountain bike. Locals should use the lower gate near the corner of Canyon Heights and Morrison canyon Road since the parking lot at the main park entrance is small.

Substantially less crowded than mission peaks. Do not go by the time you are on google maps, the time for this park varies based on seasonal dates and is belowNovember 1 - March 78am - 5pmMarch 8 - April 58am – 7pmApril 6 - May 178am – 8pmMay 18 - September 88am – 9pmOctober 1- October 318am – 7pm

Out of the way nature area is good to hang out and explore.

Beautiful Landscapes

Not great for mountain biking. The trails are not well maintained, there are cow hoof dips ALL OVER, cow poop on the trail, weeds growing over the trail, fallen tree branches strewn about the forest area, and the downhills were not really worth the climbing.

Wouldnt know, the courts have blocked public access because the people that live in the area dont want extra people on their road or land. Its odd that neighbors can block access to public land. I hope it will open soon because the views would be beautiful.

Small parking lot, so the number of visitors is limited. Difficult access on narrow winding roads. Nice hiking and biking with fantastic views of the bay area. Only one picnic table. Pit toilet. Not much shade. No water, bring your own.

Nice place to hike with same kids

A hidden gem but very small parking lot. Better have a plan B if you go on a weekend.

Great city views

Nice wide open area with a view of the Bay and picnic tables. Very little shade.

An unimpressive park with barren hills and cattle feeding in the park. Parking is free and all the trails combined fall short of a decent length hike. For my taste it is a “once and done” type of a park to visit.

Great views and nice walking along the rolling hills

Easy hike and parking. Why doesnt it open early ? Great views of Fremont
