LAGOON VALLEY PARK

Trail Description:
This 470 acre park seen from highway 80 a few miles west of Vacaville includes some surprises. Besides the usual playing field, dog park, bathrooms and picnic tables, there are miles of hiking and biking trails not only around the lake, but into the 600' Vaca Mountains. The lagoon seems to hold quite an avian population, the 150 year old historic Pena Adobe has just opened up, and for the botanically inclined, the Jack Hume Grove of natives and ornamentals is a delight.
