We have friends who used to ride motocross out near this zone so we’ve never really thought about it being great hiking, but Paula Story writes in the San Diego Union Tribune that Calavera Lake is a “gem of open space.”
On just about any day, you’ll find early morning runners or mountain bikers pounding out the miles, moms taking their kids for an after-lunch stroll and the post-work crowd walking their dogs. Some folks fish in the lake, too. . . The actual number of trails in the area is not defined; many are unofficial, and some have been created for convenience, increased technical difficulty or just because. Preserve Calavera reminds users that off-road vehicles are prohibited in the area, which is home to numerous plant, bird, mammal and amphibian/reptile species – six are threatened or endangered, including the California gnatcatcher.
Guess our moto friends were breaking the law, breaking the law. Follow the link for all the details on great hiking right here in Carlsbadistan.
