Hollenbeck Canyon Wildlife Area
1800 Honey Springs Road, Jamul, CA 91935
Formerly a 6100-acre cattle ranch, the trails of Hollenbeck Canyon Wildlife Area are situated among Jamul Creek and have been open to the public for hikes, runs, bikes, horses, and bird hunting since 2001. Although hot in the summer, this land can be a lush paradise filled with grasslands and marshes, riparian forests and oak woodlands, coastal sage scrub and chaparral, and seasonally studded with wildflowers and creek crossings. To get there, head east on Hwy 94 and turn east on Honey Springs Road where you’ll see a small parking area soon after on the left.
