Turtle Bay East Open space — Attraction in Redding

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...

Very popular park with lots of walking trails,picnic tables along the river , where there is also several trash cans. The shelter, water fountain and bag dispenser are also a nice touch. There are kiosks to educate about the importance of wetlands ( more evident by the 6” rain in one day 2 weeks ago!) and to warn about stepping on the reds ( mounds salmon make to lay their eggs on). Kids also like the dirt hills.Dogs get so excited to come here and take their persons for a stroll! There are open meadows for playing fetch and frisbee too. It has grown enough it seems like additional parking and real restrooms could be warranted? It also would help if there were vegetation between the trail to trail and the highway to muffle...

My dog loves it here, and so do I. We have met a lot of friendly dogs and their owners. We even met my dogs twin. My dog now knows this as her favorite spot. I mention the words' favorite spot, and she knows where we are going. This is the best place that I have ever found to take het on walks. She just takes charge and goes wherever her little heart desires. I highly recommend this place for walking your dog. The only downside is there are a couple of places where you can tell someone is living in a tent or has lived...
