Hiking | 5.1 miles (5.7 miles away)
Hiked out from Karen's house to Roosevelt Park. Very nice walk through the woods among the fallen leaves. The trail names are colors: Blue, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green. There is a pond with picnic areas as well as a covered pavilion with a stone fireplace. There are numbered sites with nice fireplaces.
Nice easy walking, but when your getting closer to the Tower there is no track ahead to climb. Be Caution.
Fun and safe hike with your kids.

Farms, horse corrals, large houses and water company land across the lake are visible through the trees. In some...

Saugatuck Falls: Probably no scenic spot in Redding is so widely known as
Falls Hole, the huge woodland pool in the Saugatuck with the
overhanging cliff on one side and hemlock woods on the other. This is
the heart of the Sauga Falls area. Generations of young people once
came from miles around to plunge into its cool depths, sun themselves
on the high rock, and wander in the surrounding woods. Swimming,
