Nice little walk (not exactly a hike). Virtually flat, more than 3 miles and has some interesting features. The Elderberry Trail (which isnt on AllTrails) loops through a wooded area, and Wild Rose and Grapevine are two other short loops that take you around some irrigation dams. Walk past some cow pastures. Looks like there are some fitness trails I didnt go on as well. Oh ... and there are some picnic table and restrooms as well!

Beautiful! I highly recommend walking here. Elderberry trail is like a rain forest!

Great place to see nature. Nice and maintained trails. Clean restrooms. Not crowded. Kids loved the little adventure.

Great, safe trail to walk. Sunsets are absolutely beautiful. Great inspiration place for photography.

Its a good place to visit when youre not able to make a trip to the mountains. Sometimes its hard to believe its right off the highway until you vaguely hear the cars going by from some of the trails. Its well kept, the bathroom has always been clean and well stocked when Ive gone, and theres hardly ever anyone there. Just bring water, they dont have any water fountains there.

Love it there. Quite, peaceful, and a lot of nature. I hope they create more natural areas in and around Visalia.

Pretty kid friendly hike. Beautiful. 3 bridges with water under. Bridges do not have sides on both sides, so there is a fall warning. Hold on to little ones. Paths are clear and there are benches for eating, though blocked off recently due to covid.

Nice place to get away from it all with a few different trails

Beautiful trees. Nice scenery for pictures.

I had a chance to visit the Kaweah Oaks Preserve a few semesters back for a field day. When I went last time the banks were brimming with water and the ground cover was much thicker.These pictures were taken pretty consistently around the little trail over the bridge. I was able to explore much deeper because there was so little build up of growth.Great place for young kids, and they also have larger trails for people who are looking for bigger trails. I just so happen to came with my 2 y/o daughter.

Beautiful as it comes, no matter what time of day. Different trails that you can choose, and children can go on as well. This hidden gem of beauty is sure to catch your eye everywhere.

One if the only few hiking spots near Visalia if you dont want to drive up to the Sequoias. There is 4 -6 path you can walk around all ranging in different distances. Its beautiful no matter the time of year. Dogs are allowed on leash and there are normally a bunch of cows for kids to look at.Its a beautiful piece of nature so take of it!

I truly love this place! Nothing calms me down and gives me peace as much as being in nature. I enjoy walking the many trails, sometimes encountering bobcats, and listening to the sound of rushing water. This preserve reminds me how precious the earth is, and why we must protect it.

Beautiful place for a family outting! ... Or to go alone and enjoy the scenery... Or take pictures.

Nice nature walk that is easy for the whole family. Good place to tire your dog out. Beautiful views.

Easy to get to for a flat but scenic hight without having to drive up into the mountains.

Went for a hike and it was an easy hike for our kids. Its mostly dry right now and the river is completely empty. Easy trail for families with young ones.Also CAREFULL OF POISON IVY its everywhere!

Beautiful place to take walks and pictures!

Close to home! Nice nature walk. Few people.

Busy on hot days.

Outdoor fun exploring nature.. free! Like zero dollars. Bathrooms. Just a nice place to go and get outside. Tons of trees to climb.

This place is in my top list so far for hikes with a kid. Theres a great picnic area that doubles as a kid wonderland. Only suggestions would be if youre going with only one kid to have some toys on hand to help entertain them if you dont want to do the playing (Or youre a 6 foot giant like me and dont easily fit into tiny child forts)

Nice place to go hang out for the day

Very nice, and therapeutic place to walk.

Great trails and very pet friendly. Beautiful when the river is flowing and the trees are all green. Great place to take a walk and enjoy nature without having to go so far from town!

Easy, friendly trails. Some of the trails may be closed due to rain or fallen trees, but youll always find some open. Very kid-friendly. No major obstacles to worry about. Dirt paved, so youll rarely find uneven routes. Good place to walk.

We love it here!

Cool spot got to go when it cools down though went at the wrong time of day

Nice little spot for an easy hike

Loved it. Very refreshing and my dog had a great time

A good place for a family outing.There are not a lot of places to hike near Visalia proper but this is a great place for nature walks especially with kids. There are several trails of varying lengths with interesting things to see along the way.

How is this place still closed? It shouldnt have ever been closed because of covid 19 in the first place. Has anyone ever witnessed any large groups or gatherings here ever? Sequioariverlands needs to go back to their roots and think of the community instead of power tripping their bs.

Wonderful place to visit and pack a lunch and enjoy the outdoors and restrooms available

Several little trails with nice scenery. I had an enjoyable hour long walk.

Love to see the scenery out here

It is very clean and a nice quiet place to go hiking and take the kids.

This place is SO AWESOME!!!! It has several different trails you can take that are great to enjoy the outdoors. We love taking the kids out here to unplug and get some excercise. If youre quiet you might even catch a glimpse of some bunnies or other native species that call here home. Its nice that the city set up this spot out here that gives us an idea of what the natural state of this area was before we started cutting it all down and building our city. Its very interesting to think that not too long ago the whole area looked like it does out here. Its mind blowing to think about. This is definitely a must see experience that everyone needs to try at least once.

Great spot for quick and easy hikes if you just want to get our for a bit, youll never get more than 15 minutes away from your car probably

Its clean and quiet. A great place to take a long walk with your dog or kids, if you have them.

Beautiful area. The caretaker is very friendly and helpful.

It was okay. Guess in Winter much greener and more scenic. Dog owners really need to abide by Dogs must be on leads

Great place to walk with kids

Mister enjoyed his adventure.

Great get away from the city. the trails are simple but full of beauty if you really grasp the history detail embarked here at kaweah oaks preserve. the picnic area is perfect. the time i went which was for mothers day, the picnic area was clean and the shade provided by the oak tress was very convenient. great place to walk your dogs. our dog loved to jump in the water after a long hour hike. 100% recommend.

Nice place for small hikes and fresh air

Good nature trail, attended a nature walk event which went well. Didnt find much of anything. Clean bathrooms though. And a place for a picnic.

Great area for short hikes not far from town (visalia) and great nature views.

One of my favorite spots. I take my dog for walks, on a leash of course. But very fun and peaceful!

I love this place but it would be nice to have more signs telling more info on some of the things you see for people with out a lot of information on them

Very pretty, easy trail to hike, perfect for scouts. You can see wildlife too like hawks or cows

Easy access and parking, but no shade until you get out into the preserve.Trails meander through riparian corridor with abundant riparian vegetation.

Dry and dusty. Probably better in winter spring time

The river was dry this time of year, other than that its a great place to visit.

Great place to take pictures

Very nice area for the kids in the picnic area. Once you walk into the gate you keep going straight towards the back of the reserve and its made for the kids along with kid tables to eat on. We enjoyed it

Lovely riparian trails.

The trails great to explore with kids. Area was clean and well marked.

Beautiful quiet place to commune with nature. Excellent trails to hike with family. Beautiful view of the mountains. Perfect during spring time. Not sure about summer unless you get there early.

Its just a nice place thats not too far, and free. Something different. Nice place for a walk.

Nice place to get a hike that is not out of town, the only bad thing is the bathrooms are gross. But at least they have bathrooms

Beautiful and exotic, wonderful trial except you can hear the highway that takes away from the natural sound of nature.

First time here. It was a nice little walk.

Great walk during fall time.

Easy walk with overgrown and old numbered posts delineating who knows what. Too bad, I was curious

Beautiful!!

Fun very easy light day walk

Great place to to walk your dog. I love going here. The trails and nature are a great combo.

Love it here! Its a wonderful place to learn about native plants!

Great place to get some exercise, been going out for years, great trails and nice views. Some trails have benches, also bring water as theres no water except before you get to the trails. They recently put in bathroom facilities as well.

Great place to enjoy the outdoors !

Some of the trails are closed, but the preserve itself is beautiful and I love walking around there.

Good escape from noise and your normal everyday walk in town. Bathrooms accessible and nice trails.

Lovely park. Enjoyed my friends wedding here

Cool place. I enjoy walking here from my house.

So peaceful and very clean.

Great place, beautiful oaks. Wildlife...

Beautiful area to walk around

I love this place, I take my children here regularly!

Nice place to hike. New trails and new bathrooms. Love coming here.

Nice tucked-away secret. Trails, creeks, beautiful scenery. Kid-friendly too!

A pretty nice place. Gentle flat trails, very accessible.

Not bad, but not great either. Maybe if I lived in the area, but not worth going out of my way.

Nice peaceful trails.

Its really beautiful. But some of the trails arent always clear, so it makes it hard to go down certain paths.

Really beautiful place to enjoy some outdoor time!

A beautiful slice of the Central Valley preserved for nature and community.

Great day at the park. Opportunity to walk in the woods and lowland.

Loss of oak tress due to past drought, but still nice Creek.

Oct 2018 update: I recently visited here again for the first time in 5 years and was disappointed in all the graffiti and gang tags I saw on the bridge of the Grapevine Trail. This needs to be cleaned up. When I used to volunteer there for the Nature Conservancy back in the late 80’s we had a problem with illegal hunting on the property. We rather quickly put an end to that with regular patrols (both day and night) to catch hunters in the act and report them to the Sheriff’s office. They need to do something similar to prevent the vandalism on the Grapevine Trail bridge. That or just regularly remove the graffiti until they give up or you can catch them in the act.Great location. Only a 15-20 minute drive from Visalia and offers a glimpse of what the area looked like 100+ years ago. Native Kaweah Oak Trees are spectacular. I dont like the cows on the property, but understand its a revenue source. I remember when this property first was sold to The Nature Conservancy back in the early 80s. I was there on opening day when it became open to the public. At that time nearly every large sycamore tree on the Preserve was filled with Great Blue Heron nests. It was quite the spectacle. Unfortunately, too much foot traffic and the herons have moved on elsewhere. However, despite this, its nice to see that KOP looks much the same today as it did that opening day about 30 years ago. Recommended.

Great place to see the valley floor as it was originally.

Performed a short wedding.

Youre gonna have a great time

A little bit of nature not far out of the city.

Always come here to walk with my family, have a picnic read a book. Drought has changed the landscape, but it still worth spending time here.

Nice easy trails for walking.

Nice place to get a good glimpse of nature, very educational too with panels that have information on the plant life.

Sweet getaway from city sprawl w/o having to make the trek up the Sierras.

The landscape and wildlife and beautiful and the best place to bring the family for a picnic

Good trails. Nice for families

Lovely photo opportunities!
