We moved here not too long ago and we have fallen in love with this park. We practically come here everyday to walk the dog, ride bikes or trail run. I have not fished here yet, but have heard that it has many fish in the lake. The grounds are clean as are the restrooms. We joined one of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Guided Nature Walks earlier this week and we learned much about the trees and shrubs. They have two more guided walks in the park: Nov. 20 and Dec. 18. I highly recommend coming out if you have the time.
We went here for a small picnic with friends and then went for a walk around the lake. Not the greatest park, but not bad as well
The lake is really quite beautiful, with lots of waterfowl, and a nice hiking trail around the lake. There are also multiple playgrounds, a horsehoe pit, and places to play ball. The bathrooms are kept spotless, and the park always feels safe. Whether we go there to walk our dog, or to picnic, or for a concert, we always enjoy the relaxed atmosphere.
Arboretum, great reservoir for views and fishing, hiking trails amd a suberb collection of mining-era buildings resembling a 19th century mining village. Green lawns, picnicking areas and plenty for kids to safely explore.
Cute little park. Fun for the kids. Lots of goose poop everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE. If you are pucjing a stroller you absolutely cannot avoid it. Also the geese are not afraid of you. My 2 year old son wanted to run up to them and when he realized they weren't gonna run away and started running at him he changed his mind and I had to pick him up otherwise they might have pecked at him. We were that close.
It's a pretty location but too much bird poop. It's hard to walk because of it.
Greenhorn park is a interesting place folk lore tells tall tails of how the park was created many boast it was mining that formed the lake which is partly true seeing that yreka was part of the gold rush,the lake is part of a long creek that feeds cold mountain snow melt and rain run off.If gold is what you look for you can find it in the creek that forms the lake, take a gold pan and a fishing pole cause the fishing there is great I catch many different types of fish there including flathead catfish in the early evening time before sunset and early morning, sunrise.
fun park, nice walking area and trails. lots of toys for the kids the Yreka assay office, water wheel and mining items were very cool. would defiantly visit again
Lots of trails to hike on, and a cool "ghost town" to explore. Lots of old mining equipment to examine. They've recently redone the playground and bathrooms to make it a much cleaner park. Good blackberries in August and September too.
I visited with my three year old for some peace and quiet. It was beautiful and I loved that they have a fenced in playground.
