San Elijo Lagoon

Off the 5 Freeway. Exit Manchester. Head west.

It will be on your left hand side.

There is parking inside the gates.

Very specific parking.

For those that carpool and those that drive alternative fuel vehicles.

And then the rest of us.

Stop by the Nature Center.

Head up to the observation deck.

Walk the paths.

Sit on a bench and see who walks by.

And then admire their hand-carved walking sticks.

Learn a little something.

Try to spot a duck or two.

The place is dog friendly (must be on a leash), kid friendly (paths are flat and can handle strollers) --- good for all ages!
