Trail Description:
The trail heads southwest through a two mile long riparian landscape that feeds Estero De Limantour at the end. The first half is somewhat open, but then the trail tunnels through dense trees and underbrush before opening up at the lake. From here it's only a stones throw to the brackish marshes of Limantour and the Pacific.

Trail Location:
From Bear Valley Rd., go south on Limantour Rd. 9.5 miles and turn right on Muddy Hollow Rd. The parking lot and trail head is .2 miles. Park Trail Map
