About San Dieguito River Park
Location:
18372 Sycamore Creek Road, Escondido, CA 92025, US
Mission Statement
To preserve and restore land within the Focused Planning Area of the San Dieguito River Park as a regional open space greenway and park system that protects the natural waterways and the natural and cultural resources and sensitive lands and provides compatible recreational opportunities, including water related uses, that do not damage sensitive lands.
To provide a continuous and coordinated system of preserved lands with a connecting corridor of walking, equestrian, and bicycle trails, encompassing the San Dieguito River Valley from the ocean to the river's source.
Description
The San Dieguito River Park extends along a 55-mile corridor that begins at the river's source near Julian and reaches the ocean at the San Dieguito Lagoon. The vision of the River Park reaches out to the future with ideals of preservation and protection of the beautiful rural character of the San Dieguito River Valley. From the "Coast to Crest" trail system that will someday link trails and paths from Del Mar to Anza Borrego to the celebration and preservation of our local heritage and natural resources, the San Dieguito River Park is creating recreational and educational opportunities that interface gently with nature for all ages.
