|
| HOW TO GET THERE: From San Luis Obispo take Hwy 1 North 7 miles.

| WHERE TO PARK: Follow signs to the Day Use Area. Parking lots
near gate are large enough for horse trailers. Restrooms and water are available. |
| TRAIL CHARACTER and DISTANCE: Two loop trails of approximately
2.5 miles are accessible. The southern trail winds up a hill overlooking Camp San Luis
Obispo and curves down through oak woodlands. It is a moderate climb on good footing. The
northern loop rambles through the old dairy farm. Touring the parks boundary adds
additional miles. |

could be hazardous. Be sure to stay on roadway and trails. |
