Old Borges Ranch

Old Borges Ranch is a quiet treasure tucked away in the hills behind Northgate High School. It’s a fantastic spot for families—many local schools host field trips here so kids can meet the goats, chickens, and rabbits—but the true magic lies just beyond the ranch buildings. If you visit in the spring, the hiking is absolutely stunning. It feels like stepping into another world where you’re more likely to encounter cows and birds than other people. The trails wind through rolling hills and varied ecosystems, eventually rewarding you with some of the most amazing views in the area. Whether you’re coming for the farm animals or the solitude of the hills, it’s a must-visit.

It was so cool seeing the farm animals and hearing the roosters! Note the bathroom is at the picnic area parking lot. It could be a bit chilly hear in the afternoon, so bring a jacket.

It's a good place to visit. We visited nearby place we did not feel more special. There were beautiful flowers. I liked the small classroom kind area for kids. There was a hike on other side which we did not take as it was very hot in afternoon.

This is very old ranch converted to a park place. The road to this place is very narrow but with good visibility ahead. Great place for photoshoot, hiking. Kids will enjoy the bunnies, goat, quail and some more small animals in the farm. If you are around visit and enjoy. No entry fee, enough parking space.

It would be ideal for first time visitors if the maps have the "you are here" marked down on the guides. The hike we did was easy. Some cows in between, but they were friendly. It's a pet friendly hike The views are nice too

I dropped by during weekday afternoon. The park was very educational. Multiple buildings on site, most of which are inaccessible. I did not go hiking because I brought my little ones.

Nice ranch to visit. Walking from Serafix road, Alamo. They are looking for volunteer docents for school tours.🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝🤝
