San Dieguito Lagoon
Details
This is hike number 5 in Jerry Schad's book 50 Best Short Hikes San Diego, an easy 3.5-mile out-and-back hike along the north side of San Dieguito Lagoon. We'll follow the Lagoon Trail, which is part of the Coast to Crest Trail. It passes under I-5. We'll continue on the Riverpath to the remains of the Old Grand Avenue Bridge. We've done this hike a number of times before; it's a very popular hike. For the two most recent times, follow these links:
Suggested route from San Diego: Go north on I-5 and exit at Via De La Valle (exit 36). Go east about 0.13 miles past a shopping center and turn right into San Andres Dr. Go all the way to the end of the street. The area is served by NCTD Breeze bus 308.
