Hike
This hike starts from the 28 freeway and follows a forest service road. There are a couple of points where you can get some nice views from the trail. There are some mountain biking trails that can shave off some of the mileage, but would make for a steep ascent. Dogs are welcome on the trail. It's a beautiful, secluded beach area, that includes a historical building with a marker.
More Information
Be courteous, informed, and prepared. Read trailhead guidelines, stay on the trail, and don't feed the wildlife.
