Ojai Meadows Preserve
Ojai, CA
Free
By Simir Shah
This restored wetland next to Nordhoff High has easy, flat trails, and more than 185 bird species have been recorded here, so bring binoculars. The Ojai Valley Land Conservancy closes its preserves after rain (roughly one day per quarter-inch of rain), so check trail updates first. Horses aren't allowed.
