Calavera Lake

Directions and copy

Directions: From the I5, take the 78 East and exit College Blvd, make a right. Not too far down make a left onto Lake Blvd. After about two miles you will see Old Riparian Park and head into the parking lot and park. Look for the playground and head south towards a trail, you will need to cross a small wooden bridge. When you run into a fork just across from the bridge, make a right and continue uphill. You will run into a gate but just go around it or jump it (I don’t know what its even there). Walk along the steep hill and continue up and you will be able to see the lake and the miles of trails around Calavera lake (great cardio workout).

There will be people with dogs, mountain bikers, and other hikers. I went on a Saturday and there still wasn’t very many people. Some of the hills are very steep and rocky so it is a great workout, or you can avoid those and stay on relatively flat trails. At the base of another hill you can see the ocean.

This is just one of the entrances to the park, I will post more when I found out how to get there.
