Colinas Ridge Trail

Colinas Ridge Trail:

Wide dirt trail with various inclines and declines that take you up the ridge with scenic views. Follow the trail to a bench dedicated to the Front Line Workers who have battled COVID – 19 as well as a swing hanging from a large tree.

• Various starting points to this trail
  • Start at the Laguna Niguel Pooch Park (parking lot there) and follow through the tunnel
  • Street parking on Oakcliff walk between the houses on the dirt path and go left along the trail
  • Parking lot at the Laguna Heights Marketplace (Albertsons, McDonalds, Thrive Juice Lab, Starbucks, CVS, Pizza, Frozen Yogurt) be aware you do need to cross the street (Golden Lantern) to enter the trail – this is the closest starting point to the bench & swing
• Dog friendly
• Various inclines & declines
• Jogger stroller recommended
• Wide dirt path trails with sweeping views at the top of the ridge
• Not much shade
• No restrooms
• Watch out for bikers as they do share the trail
• Swing & Bench which states “Dedicated to the Front Line Workers” “Stay Strong” “COVID – 19 2020”
  • To find it on a map look straight out from Silent Knoll & Knob Hill. There is an entrance onto the trail from the end of Knob Hill Road and you take that back onto the trail where you will find the swing
    • Can’t guarantee that the swing is still there, hope so!

For a loop trail: start from Oakcliff Drive to the bench and swing is about 1.6 miles you can then take the path down onto St. Christopher Street, left on Salt Spray Dr. back to Oakcliff Drive to create a 3 mile loop.
