Nice little hike here. About 3.1 mile back n forth

Good 3 mile roundtrip hike on a flat ground. Cannot access water from trail.

Great easy trail with beautiful scenery. Not crowded.

Nice WALK,mostly flat. 3miles.Open during Covid. Most people wear mask , mostly when cross paths with others -common courtesy. Pet friendly, Dog must be on Leash. Dont forget doggy bag, pick up after dog. No one likes step on dog pop

Love walking or running the trails at Batiquitos. Dog friendly, mostly flat trail with lots of places to stop, rest, & soak in the peaceful scenery. Plenty of dog bag and trash spots too and they have water dish by the main entrance for dogs. Or, hike the hill trails for more of a challenge. But truly, not too hard, good amounts of shaded areas, great for families. 3 miles total if you walk the main trail all the way down & back.

Nice wide path. Restroom at the trailbeax

Great place to go hiking and be in touch with nature very serene nice and relaxing definitely a Carlsbad gem

One of very few civilized trails with benches and no rattle snake hazard.

A great site for birdwatch and fitness walking. Great weather in the spring. A very friendly and informative Nature Center. Many public parking lots.

Beautiful place for walks with the family! Never a disappointment!

Great place for a walk. I volunteer there splitting wood. If you need any for a romantic beach fire, stop by the nature center and make a donation.

Great place to walk?

Another fantastic place to howl, hike and have fun! Tree canopy, too! Street parking .

Nice path, good scenery.

Beautiful park area. No bikes allowed on trail. Since its a private foundation maintaining the trail, they have there own maintenance crew and there are groups of kids doing science classes. So heads up for the little ones.

Peaceful (if you can ignore the freeway noise on the West end) place to get into nature and experience what the coastal environment looked like pre-development (if you squint and ignore the signs of development everywhere). Birders are in for a feast of shore birds and raptors. A great place to go for a run or hike with the whole family.

Great place for an easy trail run.

Fun, easy nature walk. Great for kids and strollers.

There are a few entrances to the place but the best trail is the one you enter from Gabbiano St.

Batiquitos Lagoon trail is an easy flat walk that’s excellent for a family outing. You’ll see the lagoon to the south and enjoy the many birds in the area.

Nice open area for walking and nature viewing and a well maintained area.

Easy parking, level path along lagoon. Numerous birds. No bikes approximately 2 .5 miles.

Very nice walk along the lagoon. There are various points of entry along Batiquitos.

Well groomed trail. Family friendly. Lots of parking. This is a great place to jog, hike, or walk the dog.

Flat 3-mile hike. Good birding. Interesting Visitor Center

A great place to bring kids that enjoy science and nature and can respect it. A beautiful trail to explore the habitat and a very educational nature center. Donate to keep it going!

Nice walk. Great info center and staff very friendly. Good place to go stroll along or have a run. Flat terrain.

Dog friendly. And beautiful walk.

Beautiful and peaceful place. A nice place to sit and reflect.

Great outdoors.

Great place to hang out, go for a walk, have a picnic, etc.

Was a great easy hike

We love going on the Batiquitos Lagoon hike. Weve been twice already! Its so beautiful and we love learning about the wildlife there. Youll see herrings, a bird that sits on the lagoon, and a wood rat den along the trail. Its dog friendly and Ive seen many kids there. Definitely recommend!!

We love walking our dog at the lagoon. The trail is perfect, the morning people are friendly, and there are plenty of places to rest if we need to. Also, the nature center has a bowl out on the side for the puppies to get a drink of water.The only bummer is that dogs can’t be off leash. It makes sense because of the wildlife preservations efforts, but we just wish our well-behaved pup could run a little more freely. Shout out to Ranger Jerry, though! That guy is the coolest!!

I love this shortnttrail. Our most recent visit, I saw a beautiful california king snake.

Just as peaceful as could be. So many beautiful birds and the walking paths,were very nice. I loved this place!

Really pretty and s nice walk. Get out and enjoy our resources.

Nature center staff is very nice and informative and they have a public restroom and water for thirsty doggies. Six access points with free parking. My favorite is at the aviary golf club..turn right for trail parking. I follow up walk with a snack at the clubhouse..public access. Very nice trail.

I was pleasantly surprised on how lovely the Batiquitos Lagoon Trail was.The Nature Center is very informative as there are many displays and the staff is more than happy to help you.Starting at the entrance of the Batiquitos Lagoon Foundation Nature Center- round trip is 3.25 miles.Though you can hear the freeway, if you can make yourself tune it out, you will hear the sweet music of a large variety of birds. In fact, you will find many covered benches a long the trail which are perfect for birdwatching.One of the things I enjoyed most, was encountering a gigantic Canary Island Date Palm Tree. There were 4 other trees growing out of its trunk. I can only imagine how old it is. You have to see it to believe it.

Beautiful scenery in an easy 3.6 mile there and back walk. Egrets, herons, songbirds, lizards, and small mammals.

Beautiful views, gentle hikes.

This place is very scenic and beautiful! Great for birding, walking, or an exercise run. Very clean, and you cant get into the water (this is an ecological reserve and is protected). Lots of people come to walk their dogs.

Great place to walk. Cool breezes all year. Pretty flat trail for easy hike, run, or walk. Dog friendly. Keep an eye out for the jumping fish!

Great walking path especially early in the morning.

Batiquitos Lagoon Trails are a great place for a walk or run, and for watching the birds and other activity in the lagoon. Often, it feels far from the urban areas that surround the area. Dirt surface, sometimes with wood chips; it can have muddy spots after (infrequent) rain.Dogs permitted on leash. No cycling (the surface is quite fragile).

Very peaceful and beautiful place to reflect on your life.

Easy, trail is in great shape

Nice serene setting. Dogs enjoyed the walk. We saw a variety of birds. Easy to locate.

Neat little visitors center. Nice little hike out and back along the lagoon. Basically flat, so its excellent for children. Some parts need a little cleanup.

One of the best trails in the area. Nice place to get exercise or just relax. Good place to take dogs too.

Amazing place to go relax and get some exercise

Wonderful nature trail around the lagoon. The main trail is perfect for casual walking and there are more experienced trails that are more of a hike.

Nice wide jogging / walking trail with good amounts of shade and periodic benches. Well maintained and often used.

Love this lagoon for its natural beauty

Great quick out and back hike along a Lagoon. Helps break up the drive home from San Diego. Keep an eye out for the Osprey Family

It cant be all buildings.

This place is really nice and serene. Stinky, but thats what a lagoon is supposed to smell like. Talk to the volunteers! They seem to love their job.

Such a beautiful retreat right in Carlsbad. Be sure to do the whole trail!

The very best of San Diego North County
