Back then, Deer Creek's rolling hills and fertile fields attracted both farmers and miners. All other trails are multi-use. Vehicles are confined to the parking areas and roadways. Fires are allowed only in designated grills or camp stoves. Please do not litter.
Some parks allow dogs off leash in designated training areas.
This natural preserve offers an opportunity to observe and photograph many species of plants and animals. Please do not disturb the rocks, plants, or animals. Be aware that rattlesnakes have been sighted on most Open Space parks. Be alert to their possible presence and avoid the rock piles and deep grasses where they make their homes.
