Big Laguna Trail

Mount Laguna, CA

Simir Shah

By Simir Shah

A gentle trail through pine forest and open meadow past Big Laguna Lake — flat enough for grade-schoolers and one of the prettiest easy walks in the county. The lake is seasonal and often dry by late summer, so set expectations before you go.
