Ideal for hikers, Oakoasis Preserve boasts nearly 400 acres of chaparral, manzanita, and woodlands. A 2.5-mile loop trail is well marked as part of the future Trans-County Trail system, which is planned to go all the way from Torrey Pines State Reserve to Anza-Borrego Desert. 

Explore the woods, hills, trail and sweeping views of the mountains and bring your four-footed friends! Horses are welcome, along with dogs on leash are welcome. 

Star parties are common at this preserve; join park rangers and the San Diego Astronomy Association on the second Saturday of each month for an evening of free stargazing. You can take a twilight hike to search for bats and scorpions, use high-powered telescopes with pros, and stay overnight in the group camping area during warmer months.
