Route Description for Birds Nest and Lookout Beach Hike
There are lots of ways to enjoy Discovery Park, and the Birds Nest and Lookout Beach hike is a great option for those who want an easy-moderate hike with excellent views. This trail takes you through the southern portion of the park to a lookout over the beach. It’s quite straightforward. You can continue to hike through the park on the connecting trails if you would like more distance.
Begin from the parking area. Take Loop Trail up to the boardwalk and then get onto Dakota Avenue heading towards the water.

There’s a bench before the end of the trail that’s ideal to sit on if you want to stop and savor the views. At the end of the trail on the beach, turn around and retrace your steps (after relaxing on the beach for a while, of course!).
