A little piece of coolness in Reno: Mayberry Park

 A place that seems out of the City is Mayberry Park. This beautiful escape is minutes from downtown Reno. Washoe County describes Mayberry as:

 “This river park is a beautiful day-use facility with various individual picnic sites, a group picnic area (non-reservable), a paved bike path, hiking trails and Truckee River fishing access. Bird watching, hiking, bike riding, river tubing and picnicking are popular activities. Handicap-accessible, this park is located just four miles west of Reno, at the end of Woodland Avenue.”

 

Walking Davis Creek Regional Park

 

This week’s hiking spot is Davis Creek Regional Park in Washoe Valley, south of Reno. It took me roughly 20 minutes and there is a paved parking lot.  Some of the trails were closed due to fire restoration. Check out status on the Washoe County Parks Site for updates. Directions and a directory of other parks are also on this site.
