There are plenty of projects remaining to be done. From the parking head down to the creek. There are good place to cross the creek near the Moonrock, or further upstream by the Japanese Garden. In the Spring when the creek is too high, The Swamp can be reached by crossing the bridge in Riverside, and hiking east for a few minutes.
