Oak Woodland Preserve

Oak Woodland Natural Preserve

For a change of pace, an easy half mile hike will bring you to this 60-acre natural preserve in the northwest area of Hungry Valley SVRA. Here a natural seep provides water for immense valley oaks and native grasses that can not be found growing together anywhere else in California. To protect this unique plant community for future generations to enjoy, this small natural preserve is permanently closed to OHV use.
