Steep creek access and liability

[Eugenio G.]

We are closing on an SFH / Mountain Cottage with a steep dirt slope access to a creek from an old landing point.

We are considering building out stairs down to the creek to reduce the risk of falling down the slope. I'm concerned this might actually increase liability.

The property is in California and I understand that the attractive nuisance doctrine no longer applies and that I now have a general duty to keep their property in a reasonably safe condition. We think that building out steps with a handrail does this. I'm not looking for legal advice, but would like to hear from other's experience and thoughts? Are we missing anything? What else should we consider?
