Los Osos Oaks State Natural Reserve
From Burden's Landing
Beautiful, accessible park in Los Osos with relatively flat, interconnected mile-long trails that take you through sand dunes with a grove of dwarf (6-8 foot high), 800-year old coast live oaks. There's also a Chumash trash sites here. It's close to town, but feels remote and beautiful.
There are five major plant communities represented here: [1]
- Coastal sage scrub
- Central coastal scrub
- Dune oak scrub
- Coast live oak forest
- Riparian
Great for birding!
