Double Peak Park
San Marcos, CA
By Simir Shah
★★★★★4.8(1,735 Google reviews)
At about 1,646 feet, this is the highest point in San Marcos, with 360-degree views from the Pacific to the mountains on a clear day, plus a fun playground with rock-climbing structures and shaded picnic tables right at the summit. You can drive all the way up Double Peak Drive so little legs don't have to hike — but the trails are there if you want them.

Clean park with stunning 360 views on a clear day. Nearby trails with ample parking. Walk up from parking area to find picnic tables, benches & art info displays.

The peaks above the clouds. This park has an amazing sunrise view. 360 degree view of San Marcos. We thought of going to it for 10-15 minutes but ended up spending about an hour and half just taking in the amazing panoramic views of San Marcos. There are amazing trails up and down the peaks.

A beautiful park with an amazing panoramic view of north San Diego county from the mountains all the way to the ocean. Plenty of parking. Not overcrowded. Easy to get to.
