Park
Trabuco Mesa Park is located in the city of Rancho Santa Margarita, United States. It is a recreational park that offers an abundance of activities to enjoy and explore. The wide meadow area provides plenty of room for picnicking, bird-watching, kite flying, or just relaxing on a warm day. There is also a nature center with trails running throughout it where visitors can look out for local wildlife and learn more about the local ecosystem.
One notable thing to see at Trabuco Mesa Park are its two large ponds - one for fishing and another for observing the varied species of ducks and geese who have made their home here. Visitors may also find themselves drawn towards its mountain peaks which offer stunning views as well as excellent opportunities for hiking or biking through some of the more scenic terrain in Orange County. -
Park
Lago Santa Margarita is located a long stone's throw west of the intersection of Santa Margarita and Antonio Parkways, in the shadow of Mount Modjeska and Mount Santiago, Saddleback's twin peaks.
The 1.1 mile loop around the lake offer a nice walk on a flat pavement. It is only 1 foot deep at the edge so that anyone who accidentally falls in will be able to stand up and wade out easily. The lake is surrounded by neighborhoods but also a charming little plaza with restaurants and coffee shops. -
