I also love running here. You can go for miles and the views are the best. I like early or late. It can get hot!! Bring water
The shoreline park on Lake Hodges is a popular place for walking, horseback riding, bike riding, and picnicking. Surround trails pass through open grassland to marshlands and stands of stately oaks, although the park has a decidedly urban feel. This is a wonderful place to see birds and other wildlife. Fish from shore, from float tubes, or from private or rental boats for large mouth bass, crappie, and catfish. Swimming isn’t allowed in the lake.The lake and adjoining parking lot are open February or March through October on Wednesday, Saturday, and Sunday from sunrise to sunset. Otherwise, park near trail heads and access the lake trails on foot.
