The Lake Eleanor Open Space encompasses a 250-300 foot-high ridge between Lake Eleanor
and the Las Virgenes Reservoir. As such, there is a great view all along the trail, and many
places have views in all directions. Side trails go straight up the ridge to local hilltops where the
views are even better, as is the opportunity for more exercise! There are three access points
from neighborhood streets; the main one is on Highgate Road and directions to it are listed
below.
