The trails are well-maintained and have interpretive signs and benches at various locations. Dogs are allowed on trails but must be on leash. Mountain biking is not allowed in the preserve. Native Americans did not live int he area, but did come to collect and grind acorns, as well as gather other plant and animal resources. Settlers to the area gave colorful names to features within the canyon, such as Hell and Paradise Creeks, Horsethief Canyon and Paradise Mountain.
