Capay Open Space Park

This is a nice open park area next to the creek. It is a mild flat walk to the creek. There is plenty of parking for cars and RVs and it's free. There are some scattered picnic tables. There are restrooms, but I did not go in. So I don't know the condition of them. I personally just avoid all public park/rest stop restrooms at all cost. Like all public areas, I advise hiking with a group and keep personal safety in mind. It's pretty remote. There is no ranger type person or security on duty here.

We come here often - my kids love playing in the creek. In the spring the upper park area is gorgeous with wildflowers! During the summer, pretty dry. We are usually the only visitors when we come so I don't think word has gotten out about this place yet!
