Hidden gems
The trees are just beginning to bloom! Perfect time for a visit.
Every now and then along the dirt path, there's wooden planks for dogs to run across. Cute!
Some bridge that nearby residents cross to get into the park.
Enjoying Cali winters on the Dry Creek trails.
How far I walked from the East La Loma parking lot into Thousand Oaks along the dirt trail.
Bike path along the way

Has hidden beauties! The trail is nice for a bike ride! Smooth path and not too much incline! My fiancé and I played a bit of frisbee golf! However most of the disk golf track is overgrown with weeds and grass. Looked like half of the trail hadn't been mowed or maintained in at least a year! Closer to the actual park is more kept up. Along the creek we did find this older man who seemed to be intoxicated SCREAMING at people who were trying to enjoy their time at the park. We will definitely be going back and hopefully no interruptions like that along our ride next time!

Great place to walk the dogs, the kids, bicycle ride, roller blade, etc. Paved and dirt paths. Lots of beautiful trees. Good parking at end of coffee road into scenic, as it dead ends into the parking lots. Walk down a dirt patch from the circle and cross the bridge, you are there.Bathrooms to the left a ways, tennis courts, play ground.

First off, I'm not very familiar to the Modesto area. I randomly found this park because I've been extremely into visiting national and regional parks so I thought, hey, why not!Getting to this park was kind of a stretch because I commute from Lodi to Turlock for school. I had a 7 hour gap until a meeting in Modesto so I figured that I should look around the area for some sort of hiking trail. The Google Maps GPS was on and while listening to it as I started to approach the park, the last two directions were... "Turn right and turn right" without any street names! Just make sure you've put into your GPS "East La Loma park" and you'll be fine. I'm glad that I found this park online because I killed at least two or three hours here walking on the dirt path to Thousand Oaks.Anyways. I wouldn't really call this a hiking trail because all I was doing was walking on a leveled dirt path designed for hiking. Occasionally you'd find the paths along the Tuolumne river very sudden dips on the trail so be careful. It's either stay on the narrow dirt path or fall straight into the water. It's a pretty high drop!It's quite the scenic walk and I love that it's well maintained. Although, I was baffled by a male biker who was creating a trail of trash along the bike trails. He looked like a delinquent and kept dropping plastic bags and old phone chargers just to make the park look unpresentable. As a first timer here, I felt obligated to clean up his trash because it's just so disrespectful. I guess I get it.. If you're a regular why shouldn't you make a trail of trash... On the bike path... With dozens of trash cans around the park........ I'll end my sarcasm here.Other than cleaning up after a grown male adult, I loved the park. I loved seeing the little squirrel holes and the constant chatter in the distance of them calling out to each other. I loved seeing the patches of water of the Tuolumne river, it's just refreshing! It was a very family friendly park for just a bike ride, picnic or a "just for the hell of it" kind of day! Definitely recommend the people of Modesto checking this place out. It's amazing.

I like dry creek for the occasional bike ride during nice weather, I don't like the idea of homeless running around here, or under bridges. I have had nothing, but good experiences here.

Not a bike enthusiast, but I did enjoy my ride yesterday. Although it was a little wet from the morning showers. The scenery was nice, lots of fresh air, and people were either walking, dog walking or biking the trail like I was enjoying. The bike ride was all asphalt with a some off dirt path for beginner mountain road bikes riders. Only wish people would pick up after their dogs. Especially when they do there business on the trail itself. I will be definitely riding there soon.

Great park with something for everyone. The trail goes on for many miles. It's pretty much the highlight of Modesto.

This is such a beautiful park! Nice trails to follow either along the sidewalk or a even near the water. People ride their bikes so be mindful of that as well. Very nice place to come and relax or to just get out and walk for a while.
