Discovery Lake (Lakeview Park)
San Marcos, CA
P
By Punita Patel
An easy, flat, paved 0.8-mile loop circles this little lake — perfect for strollers, scooters and first bikes, with ducks to spot and a playground plus a seasonal splash pad at the Lakeview Park end. The splash pad runs in timed bursts and shuts down mid-November through mid-March, so plan warm-weather visits accordingly.
