Santa Margarita County Preserve is 221 acres and is part of the County of San Diego Multiple Species Conservation Program. The property was acquired in 1992 to preserve the resources and picturesque scenery of the Santa Margarita Valley, while providing additional public trails in the community of Fallbrook. In partnership with the Fallbrook Land Conservancy the park was restored after the 2002 Gavilan Fire for public access. The trails are open for multiple use; horse back riding, hiking and mountain biking. To the north the trails connects with the Fallbrook Public Utility Districts trails. To the west the preserve is buffered by Camp Pendleton.
Rock garden, cliff sides and sporadic sand pits.
Basic route is about 6 miles but there are many options for rides that can be expanded into well over 20 miles.
From "El Toro Meat Market" Go one block west and take a right on Pico. (sign that says "To De Luz Road". Two Miles after you turned on Pico, you will come to a fork in the road. Go right onto Sandria Creel Rd and travel another two miles to the trailhead parking lot on the right. Do not cross the bridge, you have gone to far.
