If you get a chance, look down on the dam release into the creek. The mist is cool and refreshing on hot days.
Heading up the steeper Switchback Trail on the side of the dam to the reservoir, keep your eyes peeled for lizards! (Photo taken when dogs were permitted, before 5/15/23).

Enjoy a pleasant view looking east toward the dam on the doubletrack portion of the North Shore Trail.
