SDRP Activities

Special Activities in the
San Dieguito River Park

Saddle up your horse and join Trail Patroller Martin Buncher’s posse for a ride through the San Pasqual Agricultural Preserve on Saturday, July 25th at 8:00 a.m.  We’ll begin at the Mule Hill Trail, an historical segment that heads into the San Pasqual Valley and ride up to Raptor Ridge, a point overlooking the entire valley.  Bring enough water for you and your mount!  The ride is fairly level until we ascend the steeper portion of the trail known as Raptor Ridge.

Exit I-15 at Via Rancho Parkway and go east (right) for ¼ mile. Turn right (traffic light) onto Sunset Drive.  Park in gated staging and parking area on the left.

ACTIVITIES

During any given month you may find offered an easy hike where you can discover more about local plants and history, an activity filled family trek for kids and their families, or a vigorous expedition up a steep hillside. Are you an beginning or experienced mountain biker, kayaker, or equestrian? Keep your eye out for these occasionally organized Park explorations. Monthly habitat restoration and trail maintenance projects offer a great way for older kids to earn community service credit, for high school and college students to gain valuable career experience "in the field", and for anyone to support the River Park and its projects. All activities are free unless otherwise noted and reservations should be made by calling
(858) 674-2275 x 5.
