Turtle Bay East Open space

Man it's beautiful really really is beautiful!! So I'm not from around here at all and I think maybe as a baby we drove through here on the freeway but this is the first time I've ever really been in Redding and it's kind of a big city for what I could tell so far but stumbling across this on the outside of town or I don't know if I'm on the outside of town or not lol this is beautiful I haven't it's raining so I haven't got out of the car yet or anything but this place is a very pretty place!!!

There may be nicer areas here to relax or play with your dog but the entrance parking lot and picnic benches just seem dirty. This was my second time coming here and it was same as before. But it's also July and it's hot and dusty. If you just need a quick dog stop while road tripping, it does the job. There is one porto potty in the parking lot at the Sacramento River trailhead.

One of the best off leash areas in Redding. The North Bechelli off Cypress and it dead ends at this place. There are a few parking spots on the pavement, and then there is a dirt lot below the paved parking spaces. Walking trail is very flat and goes in a small circle (probably about a mile long). There are plenty of trails that break off the main trail that can take you to more private areas and down to the river. On the West end the trails lead to a shallow part of the river that has a small hill to walk down. The river can get swift depending on time of year, so always evaluate before letting your dog go all the way in. On the south side of the park (the back end of the trail) there are a few picnic benches where you can have lunch and overlook the river. These benches have a lot of trees around them, so depending on the time of day they are usually well shaded. There are short but steep walkways down the the river in this area, but the river is deeper here and more swift, always use caution. Also back here are dirt bike jumps that look fun.

Amazing trails with river access. Sadly some people think they only need to pick up after their dog if on the trail. Reminder, dogs don’t stay on trails and don’t need to play in your dogs 💩. Please keep your eyes on your dogs and be a responsible pet parent.

This place is so nice. Clean space easy to walk for anyone. Lots of picnic tables. Lots of dogs off leash. There are restrooms and also a Porta potty. Not a ton of parking.
