Plan Your Visit

Please be mindful to observe the following at any Sequoia Riverlands Trust preserve:

  • Allowed: dogs on a leash (please pick up after your pet; supplies are not provided)
  • Not allowed: firearms, fishing or hunting, loud music, bicycles (except for Dry Creek Preserve), fires, fireworks, glitter, balloons, horses or other livestock, collecting plants or wood without permission

Sequoia Riverlands Trust is committed to making its preserves welcoming to all. While none of our trails are currently paved or formally ADA-compliant, many—including those at Kaweah Oaks Preserve—are relatively flat and may be navigable by some mobility devices. Parking is available at all open preserves, and restrooms can be found at most sites, though they are not fully accessible at this time.

Accessibility improvements are a growing priority, and feedback is always welcome. For questions or more information, reach out through the button below or call the office.
