Lake Miramar Loop Trail

I spent a late morning into the early afternoon at Lake Miramar (also known as the Miramar Reservoir) in the Scripps Ranch area of San Diego, walking along the 5 mile paved Loop Trail.

The address is: 10710 Scripps Lake Dr., San Diego, CA 92131

There were beautiful views throughout!

Feel free to click on each photo for a larger view!

I took a detour and hiked a bit below the paved trail on the dirt path.

Little bird watching surprises: a Great Blue Heron, Snowy Egret, Western Grebe, Gadwall, Snow Goose, Cassin’s Kingbird and of course, plenty of Mallards and Coots!

No swimming, but there’s fishing and bike rentals!

Besides people walking and jogging, there were many on bikes and one on roller skates!

 

If you go: bring WATER to drink. Yes, there are plenty of portable toilets along the trail.

There’s plenty of parking as well.

Here’s a short video from the day!
