Santa Margarita County Preserve is 226 acres and is part of the County of San Diego Multiple Species Conservation Program.
The property was acquired in 1992 to preserve the resources and picturesque scenery of the Santa Margarita Valley, while providing additional public trails in the community of Fallbrook.
The 2.5 miles of trails are open for multiple use; horse back riding, hiking and mountain biking.
To the north the trails connects with the Fallbrook Public Utility Districts trails. To the west the preserve is buffered by Camp Pendleton.
The park is open seven days a week from 8 a.m. to half an hour before sunset.
In the event of heavy rain the preserve will not open for public safety and protection of the resources. Fishing in the river is not permitted at this time.
