Hike at Songbird Preserve

Join us for an enchanting walk along a tree-lined, restored section of the Carmel River – and stroll through some local history! Conserved by Big Sur Land Trust in 2008, the Songbird Preserve provides habitat for a multitude of both native and migrating bird species, including 46 with special conservation status. This leisurely half-day outing is a mild loop with frequent stops. It is about one level mile along tree-lined trails, shaded riparian single-track and sandy riverside embankments. Dress appropriately for the weather, wear layers and comfy hiking shoes for uneven terrain. Bring your favorite trail snack, picnic lunch, sun protection and ample water. No pets please.
