Goose Rock Perimeter - North Beach Loop
Distance: 2.5 miles (loop)
Difficulty: 3
This is a great walk on well-maintained trails with excellent views all along. Begin either at the Group Camp #3, North Beach Parking Lot, or the Bridge Parking Lot (I prefer to start at Group Camp #3, heading East). Maximum trail elevation is approximately 200 feet and lowest is sea-level. However, there are a few ups and downs between start and finish as shown in the graphical elevation profile below. There are several marked cross-trails with opportunities for further exploration and a few steep drop-offs in places near the trail, so keep youngsters nearby and, as always, watch your step. Also see South Park Trails superimposed on aerial photo (50K).
