Big area for picnics and BBQs, although recent postings prohibit fires in the area. Horses, bikers and hikers are common in this area.
From the gate at the entrance you will travel for another few hundred yards until the main parking lot. There are more than a dozen vehicle spots, an area for horse trailers and a nice picnic area complete with restrooms.
This area is very pleasant in the spring, summer and fall months as the leaves and vegetation change from one month to the next.
There are multiple trails in this area with the biggest trail hooking up with the Bonneville Shoreline Trail.
From the parking lot if you travel south, immediately to your left you will see a trail that heads up in a northern direction. This trail is the Bonneville Shoreline Trail which climbs a little in elevation and then comes to a fork. The left trail is the Bonneville Shoreline Trail and continues north. The right rail is very long and eventually leads to the Fernwood Cabin – which is small and not well maintained.
The trail in front of the parking lot which is also the Bonneville Shoreline Trail leads to a small creek which is usually flowing year round. The trail circles around the hillside and then travels south to Adam’s Canyon.
If you take this trail you will pass by gravel pits and some homes.
