Route Description for El Dorado Park Nature Trail

For anyone that doesn’t have the time to get out of the city but still wants to get out for some fresh air, the El Dorado Park Nature Trail is a great route that features a peaceful park atmosphere. You can also check out the nature center in the park, which features plenty of opportunities to learn about local plant and animal life!

Setting out from the parking lot, you will make your way west through the tree cover and across North lake, where you will also pass by the visitor center. From here, you will loop through the forest and follow the trail as it turns south.
