This 1.6-mile long loop is suitable for users of various skill levels, with a total elevation gain of 200 feet. As you walk this trail, you will pass through oak woodlands, as well as open, grassy meadows that display beautiful wildflowers in the spring. The highlight of this trail is of course Sausal Pond. At the pond, you may be treated to sights of egrets, blue herons, wood ducks, dragonflies, or even the western pond turtle, which is a California species of special concern. 

Stay on designated trails and observation areas to help protect the fragile environment around the pond. Dogs are able to use this trail, but must be kept on-leash.
