Ancil Hoffman Park

My go to for my pooches. The year round pass is worth it. There's an awesome 3 mile loop around the golf course. One side of the loop runs along the river. There's a couple small beaches to get your doggy wet. Very well maintained. Tons of wildlife. I'm very lucky to live close by, FYI, there is a dog friendly bar with pub food called the Main Stage at the golf course!

beautiful place!!! I came from southern california.

went here 4 days on a row to take pictures of birds and nature.

Walked the loop trail surrounding the park. It was about 3 miles. All parking lots had access to the trail. Trail is about 70% shaded.

REALLY NICE! Huge grassy areas. Reserved picnic areas. Nice trails. River access within a 5 min walk. Lots of parking. Next to a nature preserve...came across a calving doe! Saw a group of baby ducks. Dogs allowed on a leash.

There's a Nature Center with plenty of educational exhibits, both inside and outside. There's also some animals inside. There are hiking trails, all very low difficulty. On my journey, I saw dozens of deer, some only a few feet away. There were close to one hundred turkeys, and one lonely coyote. The trails goo through the woods and alongside the American River. I thoroughly enjoyed my journey!

Great nature preserve! You will see lots of wildlife, and they have info about the indigenous life that is native to this area. Great for the family or for a rejuvenating stroll through the woods. Highly recommend this place for anyone at any time!

Beautiful park, excellent place to take a walk "down by the river." You can also have a barbecue with family and friends, or just kick back and relax under the gorgeous trees. Truly a hidden gem in the Carmichael area.
