San Elijo Lagoon N. Rios Trail
Solana Beach, CA
Free
By Simir Shah
An easy 1.2-mile round-trip trail from the Rios Avenue trailhead at the north end of North Rios Avenue, mostly flat, through the Gemma Parks Loop's plant ID signs and past wetlands where snowy egrets nest. Leashed dogs are welcome. There are no restrooms, and parking is on residential streets, so keep driveways clear.
