Cappie’s Scoop: Do you need a short hike with a great water view, check this out! It’s an easy hike to get out and stretch your paws. There is a nice view of the San Vicente Reservoir and some really good sticks along the way. Wish I could swim in it but I don’t think I can. Don’t hesitate to add YOUR scoop in the comments below!
Tips: None
Directions: From I- 8, take Highway 67 N (toward Ramona) until the freeway portion ends and turn right on Mapleview Street. Then turn left on Ashwood Street, which will turn into Wildcat Canyon Road. Go a little over 4 miles, as you get to the top of the hill turn left at the entrance to Oakoasis Open Space Preserve. Proceed about 1/10 of a mile up this road and the parking lot will be on your right. Oakoasis Preserve is directly across the street from El Capitan Open Space Preserve.
