Perfect place for an easy hike. Plenty of shade available on a warm day. Bring at least a couple of water bottles to hydrate yourself.

Good open trail. People are generally wearing mask. Nice short hike.

I know for a fact nobody is looking at the reviews for a free public trail parking lot. But if you are reading this, for whatever reason, Ill give you my review. There are only like 10 parking spots at each of the two parking lots, so you may not always get parking. The trail is very nice and very well made though. The water is a bit dried up bit its still a peaceful trail to walk or run on.

Really relaxing and beautiful nature. I dont know how I can forget a place like this in our own backyard

Very pretty trail. It is right on the lagoon. There are numerous parking lots and ways to get on this very short hike. The volunteers really try to keep these trails really clean as they do provided dog bags. Dogs are allowed on trail but on a leash. This is a very easy hike. It is mostly flat. There is an awesome little visitor center where kids can play and explore animals that live there. There is also a clean restroom for visitors to use.

Fun little trail! Loved the swings. Too bad there is so much trash laying around though. Plenty of trash cans supplies just lazy people

Really enjoyed these hiking trails. Its a very calm environment with a touch of nature. Definetely worth checking it out. I like the fact that there are QR barcodes that you can scan with your phone camera or QR code reader and you will get details on the animals or plants you are looking at. Theres several QR codes through out the hiking trails. Allows you to understand and appreciate more what you are looking at.

This trail has some amazing views. There is plenty of shade and the trail goes for several miles. The trail is large enough for dogs, strollers and large groups of people.

Love this place Great chance to get close to nature.. info center closed because of covid scene..

Always a great trail!

Easy trail and a nice hike

This is a wonderful trail! Lots of wildlife and friendly people. One note, though: there are frequent car break ins at the trail head, even in daylight during times of heavy use, so don’t leave valuables in your car!

Perfect stroll to take the kids or the dog

Very easy hike about 3 miles long, no climbing at all, we saw a bird carrying a fish in its claws. According to other people who were closer, it was an Osprey. Lot of birds, lot of dogs, walking under eucalyptus trees

The parking is free and we always seem to find a spot.

Great trail parking lot

Keep it wild, folks! Would love to see some of these usually empty,sad green patches of large golf courses not too far by turn into natural habitat soon too. Love and cherish these habitats for there might be none left soon.

A good little parking lot, shady, clean and convenient.

Good for family and dog walking

Beautiful 3mile total walk..soon as you get beyond the freeway noise its great...keep your eye out for golf balls.

One of my favorite spots to to on runs and to walk my dog.

Great trail and programs on the lagoon and nearby cliffs. Tuck a trash bag in your pocket just in case. Help maintain the serenity.

Beautiful trail, clean and great views of the lagoon.

Its a parking lot. Could be bigger. The lagoon is awesome.

Looking for an easy hike and not having to deal with so much of the vertical climb, then look no further than Batiquitos Lagoon, the hidden gem of Carlsbad.

Fave...right on lagoon..stair out at lagoon and w in 30 seconds you ll see mullet.jumping..Osprey nest here and enjoy the mullet.

An easy walk along a lagoon. Lots of birds to see and the breeze can be nice. Dogs are allowed (10 ft lease max).

Great and adjustable hike. Beautiful views.

Nice, easy trail.

Well, I think this review is for the parking lot but, anyway it was nice only enough room for like 10 cars but thats fine and dont forget to hide you wallet under the seat so no one take it jk idk bye!...

Awesome birding, beautiful day!

Its a great place for a walk but the map is not a n s e w map so I went backwards

Spent a lovely morning on the trail. Easy walk in a lovely settings.

Nice preserve in the city.

The trail is 5 stars, very beautiful, however parking is a bit limited in the designated lots. There is a fair amount of street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Parking lot is very small, but the street nearby has lots of street parking

Nice refreshing trails

A rare place to unwind in Carlsbad

Very beautiful, i enjoyed the landscape almost as much as i enjoyed seeing all the gorgeous well healed dogs on the trail. Bring a camera! I forgot mine.

Good place to start your walk.

Make this walk a must, relax with nature and not too many peopke

Who doesn’t need a quiet walk with an ocean view?

This is a nice walking trail. Too bad it doesnt go all around the lagoon.

Was a nice place, my dogs training class was there !!

Really nice for a walk and bird watch. No bikes allowed.

The best walk around!

Great place for a walk

Great place to hike

Great easy hike.

Nice uncrowded trail
