A perfect morning hike before visiting Healdsburg’s wineries and vineyards

A fun, fairly easy hiking experience. There are no specific picnic areas. However, you can always find a patch of grass on the far side of Froggy Pond where you can rest and picnic away. Get your printable Healdsburg Hiking Guide with maps, helpful tips and more.

NOTE: Dogs are allowed on a leash. There are no restroom facilities. Bring some water with you. And a blanket is a good idea if you plan on laying back and relaxing next to Froggie Pond.

DIRECTIONS: Take Healdsburg Avenue north out of town. Turn right at Parkland Farms Blvd. Go to the end. Turn right at Bridle Path. Park along the street (be respectful of our neighbors’ driveways). Trail head is to your left (east of the Arabian Way intersection). Walk towards that dead end and turn right (up a slight incline). You’ll quickly see the signs marking the beginning of your journey. Be safe, and have a great time. Remember… hand holding is highly recommended.
