	+ NOTE: The Reserve's stated purpose is habitat preservation and research with public access granted based on "light recreation." This means it's NOT a dog-walking park or organized recreational facility as might befit a public park. A fragile ecosystem like Putah Creek Riparian Reserve exists only through thoughtful and consistent wildlife management practices, among which is limited exposure to dogs, horses and sporting activities, that might prevent wildlife observation by nature-lovers and researchers. +

- Getting to the Reserve is simple and easy whether by car, bike or on foot. The main entry points are just south of the UC Davis Airport's runway, at Old Davis Rd. and off Pedrick Rd. A surprisingly vast array of wildlife abound, including river otters, muskrat, large-mouth bass, frogs, turtles, various raptors, coyote, rabbits and even fox. Hours are from sunrise to sundown. Picnics, swimming, fishing and hiking are encouraged. Walking the Reserve's dirt single-track path takes about 1.5 hours in total, is suitable for all ages but is uneven. Pushing a jogger, stroller or wheelchair would be problematic. Trail-running is also popular in the Reserve.	+ Hours are from sunrise to sundown.

- According to the Putah Creek Riparian Reserve Management Plan, "The Reserve is a natural haven for wildlife in an urbanized and agricultural landscape. Beaver, ground squirrels, deer, snakes, lizards, and a variety of fish and other aquatic organisms inhabit the creek and its riparian corridor. Though seldom seen, bear and mountain lion have been reported on the creek corridor. - The Reserve presents a unique opportunity to conduct field research on a riparian system within close proximity to the central campus. The Reserve also serves as a nearby passive recreation area for residents of the cities of Davis and Dixon. The City of Davis runs an environmental summer camp called Camp Putah, and the Putah Creek Council stages several creek - cleanups each year along the creek."	+ '''Rules and Such''' + Getting to the Reserve is simple and easy whether by car, bike or on foot.

- Therefore, it is important to differentiate this "wildlife habitat" from a "public park" or "recreation area." As a nature reserve, maintaining the natural state of the flora and fauna has precedence over park uses such as dog-walking, trail-running or organized recreational activities. Nature-lovers are often surprised by the many native species that live in this narrow slice of Putah Creek, only a mile from busy roads and freeways. Loose dogs and other organized activities scare away the wildlife preventing their observation by nature-lovers.	+ Hunting is not allowed but fishing is quite common.

Although it is clearly signed that dogs MUST be on-leash at all times, oftentimes, they are not. Unfortunately, there are no dog waste disposal cans, so some dog owners don't feel compelled to clean up after their pets. Also, equestrians from the Equestrian Center regularly use this park, so there is some moderate trail damage and horse piles to avoid.
