Escondido Watershed Journey Series Begins

ESCONDIDO WATERSHED JOURNEY, a 4-Part Series

Explore your Escondido watershed with experts in tours from the mountain to the coast. San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy presents this new, 4-part series beginning upstream near the Escondido Creek headwaters and concluding at the Pacific Ocean in monthly tours.

With so little fresh water to go around, it’s important to understand where your water comes from, how it flows downstream, and what you can do to protect your watershed. Visit Dixon Lake. Take in panoramic views from Double Peak Park. Stroll along a freshwater creek at Elfin Forest before hiking up through oak woodland and chaparral. The series will conclude at San Elijo Lagoon where you will learn the many important functions this unique and rare habitat provides.
