PHASE II OF HIDDEN FALLS PARK IS COMING!!

The much anticipated opening of Phase II of Hidden Falls Regional Park will be on May 23, 2013! The park will be open from sunrise to sunset, 365 days of the year.

PARKING IS LIMITED

You are welcome to visit Hidden Falls any day of the year, but be aware the park is typically overcrowded during mid-day weekends and holidays. In order to get the most enjoyment from your visit, please plan to use the park during off-peak days and times. In order to minimize the footprint of asphalt (we do not want to grade down the hillsides) only a limited number of parking stalls are available. If you find all parking stalls are taken, you will need to leave the area and return when a space opens up. There is an area of the parking lot that has been designated as parking for equestrians. There is not a lot of parking space for horses and their owners, so please park only in parking stalls designed for vehicles. With minimum intrusion of the environment as a goal, plans are underway to provide additional parking as soon as possible.

WHAT YOU WILL FIND WHEN YOU GET HERE

Trails provide access to scenic views of the riparian habitat along several creeks. There are informative interpretive panels mounted at various spots along the trails, picnic areas, and fishing access trails.

PLACER LEGACY OPEN SPACE PROGRAM

The development of Hidden Falls was made possible by the Placer Legacy Open Space Program. Placer Legacy is a voluntary program formed to conserve open space, help preserve the local farm economy, protect native plants and wildlife, and provide more passive recreation opportunities to the public. Major support is being provided by a combination of funding partners and volunteers. Supporters include the California Natural Resources Agency, Sierra Nevada Conservancy, California Conservation Corps, REI, Inc., Folsom Auburn Trail Riders Action Coalition, Sun City Lincoln Hills Hiking Club, and California State Parks.

Hidden Falls has been described by Supervisor Robert Weygandt as the "Crown Jewel" of the County's award-winning Placer Legacy program.
