ROCKVILLE PARK 
OAKRIDGE ENTRANCE TRAILS
July 3, 2008
Home

Trail Description:
Oakridge Drive is the southern entrance to the park off of Green Valley Road. It's closer to Hwy 80, and provides clean, safe and un-crowded subdivision parking. There is initially perhaps a half mile uphill hike to main trails, but after that it's more level and shady. This day we took Green Valley to Mystic to Arch trails, and had a snack at a shaded picnic table overlooking the still full blue Upper Lake with a variety of  birds swimming about. Overall, the grass was dry and you had to hunt to spot flowers, but scenic wise it was a pleasure... perhaps due to moderate temperatures.

Trail Location: See the park page for directions.
