Autumn Awaits: Discover Riverstone's Beauty

November 15, 2024

As vibrant fall colors transform the landscape of the Central Valley, Riverstone continues to thrive as a premier community where natural beauty and modern living harmoniously coexist. Nestled at the foot of the Sierras, Riverstone offers residents unparalleled access to outdoor adventures, scenic trails and serene parks.

Located in The Lodge community clubhouse at Riverstone, the Gear Barn is an outfitter’s cabin featuring a variety of recreational gear available for homeowners’ on- and off-site adventures.

Situated just off Highway 41 north of Fresno, Riverstone is a convenient gateway to the legendary natural playgrounds of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

This fall, residents are invited to explore the recently completed park in the Clementine neighborhood, a beautiful addition to the community’s extensive outdoor offerings. The new park features inviting green spaces and playgrounds for children, providing the perfect backdrop for family gatherings and seasonal festivities.

“Fall is truly magical here in Riverstone,” said Riverstone’s Tim Jones. “With the new park in Clementine, residents can immerse themselves in the stunning autumn colors while enjoying a range of activities. It’s a wonderful way to connect with nature and each other.”

In addition to the new park, Riverstone boasts a network of private trails that meander through picturesque landscapes dotted with historic olive trees and fragrant orange groves. These trails are perfect for hiking and biking, allowing residents to immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area while enjoying outdoor exercise and exploration.

Just a stone’s throw away, Riverstone is surrounded by natural wonders. Woodward Park, a 300-acre regional park and bird sanctuary, is only seven miles away and features playgrounds, trails and serene fishing ponds. The park also houses the Shinzen Japanese Friendship Garden, home to over 100 species of bonsai trees. Families can also seek thrills at the Woodward BMX course, offering dirt tracks for riders of all ages.

For those looking to expand their outdoor adventures, Millerton Lake is just 15 minutes away, providing over 40 miles of magical shoreline for boating and water sports. The surrounding foothills offer incredible hiking opportunities where visitors might catch sight of local wildlife, including mule deer and bald eagles. Only an hour’s drive from Riverstone, Bass Lake beckons with its stunning beauty, recognized as “One of the West’s Best Lakes” by Sunset Magazine. The lake offers endless recreational activities, from swimming and fishing to water skiing, all surrounded by towering pine trees.

In addition to these exciting outdoor activities, Lennar is proud to announce the launch of eight new model homes in the newly named Park District by Lennar. These homes embody the spirit of Riverstone, combining modern designs with the area’s natural beauty.

“Every day at Riverstone offers new opportunities for adventure and connection,” said Riverstone’s Tim Jones. “With our beautiful parks, trails and new homes, we’re excited to welcome even more families to experience everything our community has to offer.”
