Our wonderful weather allows you to enjoy the outdoors year-round, except for the few times we get rain. A favorite outdoor activity in Carlsbad is taking a walk or hike, and we have plenty of hiking trails to accommodate any ability level.
And a pleasant walk allows you to escape the pressures and hustle and bustle of daily life AND get some exercise.
The Batiquitos Lagoon is a favorite walking area, and especially pleasant because of the views of this pristine lagoon, and the many bird species that inhabit the area. Located at the south end of Carlsbad in the Aviara area (bordering the Four Seasons Resort and Golf Course), about 6 miles of trails (which extend beyond the lagoon area) are perfect for walks with or without your dog, running, and bird watching; these trails are rated as moderate to difficult. Many Aviara homes are nearby and can readily make use of this wildlife preserve.
Carlsbad’s other hiking and walking areas (about 19 miles in total) include a number of open space trails. You can expect a variety of vegetation, wildlife, and terrain.
CARLSBAD HIKING AND WALKING TRAILS
La Costa Valley (east of El Camino Real) – 1.3 miles
La Costa Glen (west side of El Camino Real) – 1.2 miles
Arroyo Vista and Villagio (near Olivenhain, off Rancho Santa Fe Road) - .6 miles
Hosp Grove (north Carlsbad just south of Marron Road) – 3 miles
Rancho Carrillo (north of La Costa along Melrose) – 4 miles
A number of the master planned communities also provide walking trails as part of the requirement to preserve open space (e.g., Bressi Ranch, La Costa Ridge, La Costa Greens).
And you can always just take a stroll along the concrete boardwalk near Carlsbad Villge to take in teh gorgeous ocean views, and watch the surfers as the sun sets.
So get out your walking shoes or hiking boots and get some exercise in Carlsbad.
