Frank Raines Regional Park is located approximately 18 miles west of Patterson on Del Puerto Canyon Road. This regional park offers rugged slopes of California's Coast Range and is functionally divided into two units separated by several miles of road. The eastern-most section is the Minnier Area, encompassing over 1,000 acres of undeveloped land designed for non-motorized recreation uses (e.g. hiking and nature trails, deer and wild pig hunting during specific times of year, etc.) The western-most section includes the Frank Raines day use area, providing picnic areas, playground, sports field, volleyball court, horseshoe pit, hiking and nature trails, restrooms, picnic tables, and barbeques. One-quarter mile up the road is the Deer Creek Canyon Campground area, providing 34 full hook-up campsites, restrooms, recreation hall, picnic shelter, picnic tables, barbeques, and over 800 acres for off-highway vehicle recreation.

Nearby Activities
The Frank Raines Off-Highway Vehicle Park is a great place to ride, both for beginners with stock rigs and experienced drivers with well-equipped rigs. The park is tucked far enough into the hills and the terrain is very steep and treacherous. There is a mud bog that remains full nearly all season long. The warning sign for vehicles without roll bars is certainly justified. Be aware that during the summer the Off-Highway Park normally closes for Fire Season from Mid-June to Mid-October.
