Old Smith Ranch Preserve Trailhead

Old Smith Ranch & Ten Mile Estuary Trail, just north of Fort Bragg is the perfect trail for the whole family to meander down to the estuary for some impressive bird watching. Along the way you might spot a squiggly garter snake! Right now the Silver Lupine is blooming along the trail. Watch out for poison oak if you are sensitive! We have been keeping it back, but it has a mind of it’s own and simply laughs at our efforts to contain it. Stay to the center of the path to avoid it.
