Description:
Oak woodlands, native grasslands, and fields of wildflowers are some of the settings you'll experience during your hiking, biking, and riding adventures within the boundaries of this 3,800-acre preserve.  More than 13 miles of multi-use trails wind through the various habitats in this scenic mountain preserve.  Santa Ysabel Creek runs along the entire northern boundary of the preserve. No fees are collected for day use at Santa Ysabel Preserve.  Please note that no overnight camping is allowed. For your safety, please stay out of the creek and closed areas of the preserve.  Stay on the trails; the natural resources of the preserve are fragile and depend on your trail etiquette for survival.  Be sure to carry plenty of water, as Santa Ysabel can be hot and dry during the summer and there is no water available on the trails.  Note: To prevent damage to the trails, after any inclement weather (1/2 inch of rain or any snow), the preserve will be closed until the trails dry out.
