Outing
Escondido Creek flows all the way from the hills near Lake Wohlford west to San Elijo Lagoon, there are plenty of great places along the way to see it. Lucky for us, right here in Encinitas we have a great out-and-back hike, just shy of 2.75 miles, that will take you right alongside it. Lace up your boots, bring some water and a camera, and enjoy a rugged walk along a double- and single-track trail that climbs slightly before turning and dropping along the creek heading to the outskirts of town, where Encinitas (Olivenhain) meets Rancho Santa Fe.
