Review & FAQ:
The Oakoasis Open Space Preserve was established to protect coast live oaks, meadows, and chaparral in the area that overlooks the San Vicente Reservoir. The 2.5-mile trail through the preserve offers a serene, often solitary hike in the shade of an old oak grove and a lush diverse mix of local flora. The lakeside lilac that grows along the trail puts on quite a show of purple blooms in the spring. After that, the trail descends steeply towards a dense grove of coast live oaks. There is an observation point with the lovely view of the San Vicente Reservoir. This is a nice hike to do with the kids and you even can bring the dog, too.
