Use our Expand Your Experience map to locate trails featured in our fall 2020 issue of our Horizons magazine. Each of these suggested trails provides a unique outdoor experience, along with nature and history snippets. We’ve mapped out different routes within each quadrant of the county to provide a good mix of locations and landscapes for any season of the year. Depending on how far you wish to travel, you can choose a shorter route or a longer excursion. There are options for hiking, biking, horseback riding, and cross-country skiing. Tell us about your expanded experiences on social media @LCFPD.
