Lake View Trail

Embark on an easy mountain biking adventure along the Peters Canyon North Loop and East Ridge Trail, a 7.1-mile (11.5 km) route that offers a quick escape into nature. You will gain 465 feet (142 metres) of elevation over approximately one hour, making it a perfect option for a refreshing ride. Enjoy the changing scenery as you cycle from open grasslands to areas with expansive views of the Upper Peters Canyon Reservoir, especially along the North Loop Trail.

When planning your visit, be aware that Peters Canyon Regional Park is a popular destination, so you might share the trails with hikers and equestrians, particularly on weekends. The trails are generally well-marked, and maps are available at the park entrance for your convenience. Parking is typically available in the park's designated areas, ensuring easy access to the trailhead.

The East Ridge View Trail section provides panoramic vistas of Peters Canyon and the wider Orange County area, offering a dynamic backdrop for your ride. The park itself boasts diverse habitats, including coastal sage scrub and riparian zones, which contribute to the unique natural environment you will experience on this route.
