Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve

One of San Diego County’s most precious natural resources, the Reserve offers approximately 11 miles of hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trails, as well as picnic areas and scenic mountain viewing points. In addition, the natural beauty of the Reserve includes such native plant communities as oak riparian, oak woodland, coastal sage scrub, and chaparral. All wildlife and natural resources at the Reserve are fully protected so that future generations may also enjoy these wonders. The Reserve reopened with normal operating hours on Monday, June 15. In accordance with guidance from San Diego County Health and Human Services Agency, the Reserve’s reopening requires that visitors have face coverings at all times, and they must be worn when six feet of social distancing is not possible.
