Swap your pickleball shoes for your hiking boots for a Saturday morning cross-training six mile hike. We'll meet at 8:30 am at the end of Stonehedge Drive (off of Summerfield Road). Street parking is free.
We'll start by following the fire road to get on Canyon Trail then around Lake Ilsanjo and back to our cars by way of Spring Creek Trail - a total of six miles. Elevation from a low of 306' to a high of 800'. See map here.
Canyon Trail has a steady increase in elevation with a panoramic view at the top (on a clear day) of Santa Rosa, the Mayacamas Mountains with the Geysers and Mount Saint Helena.
Lake Ilsanjo is a man-made 26-acre lake, home to bluegill and largemouth bass. Fishing is allowed with a valid CA fishing license.
Spring Creek Trail is shaded by alders, redwoods and bay trees that grow along the creek canyon.
Bring plenty of water and a snack. We'll pause for a break at the picnic table by the lake. If you are used to hiking with poles, you may want to bring them also.
Special thanks to our club member Mandy Lee for designing this route.
