HOSP GROVE TRAILS

Located in north Carlsbad this trail system is one of the most extensive in the Citywide trails system and is among a huge grove of mature Eucalyptus trees planted many years ago, for the rail road industry with the intention for the wood to be used in the construction for rail lines. However, it was determined that the wood was inferior to other varieties and not harvested for that purpose. Years later the City of Carlsbad acquired the property and it is now enjoyed by hikers, picnickers, and nature enthusiasts seeking respite from the hustle and bustle of city life. The un-paved trail does climb to over 100 feet difference in elevation and offers great views of the adjacent Buena Vista Lagoon and the Pacific Ocean.
