The Best Hiking Trails in Fairfield

Best hiking spot near my house. I always go with my boyfriend and our 3 pups! There are multiple trails but with many easy to follow signs. My favs are the cave trail and the cascade trail, both usually pass through the rock garden and lake trails for beautiful views. Makes you appreciate that we live in the lush California scenery. $3/person, $1/doggie.

Even though this page's description describes the Lynch Canyon Open Space as a 3.6 mi loop, there are actually a multitude of trails out here, the largest loop is close to 10 miles. Earlier this week (mid April) I hiked the Middle Valley/Prairie Ridge/Kestrel/South Valley trails (around 6.5 mi) and found that at the top of Pine Ridge the trail disappeared into the grass frequently. I suspect that the trails will reappear later in the summer after the grasses dry out and more people have walk

Rolling Hills is a nice family park in a residential neighborhood. Across Hillborn is a large group of peacocks that wander the neighborhood and occasionally some make their way as far over as Rolling Hills Park... which was how we found out about the peacocks in Fairfield.
