About This Trail
One of the top easy hikes in the Santa Cruz Mountains is perfect for anyone. It has a lake which always adds to the pleasure of a hike. The trail tread up to the dam is wheelchair accessible, but there are escape hatches before that, and a hillside traverse is not recommended for strollers or wheelchairs. It can be made more adventurous by connecting to the open space preserves to the north and south.
