The Knoll

This Open Space Trail is one of our most popular hikes. The 3-mile loop includes the Knoll lookout, offering views of Devils Lake, the Pacific Ocean, and Roads End. Prepare for a steep climb to the top.
GPS marker signs are in place along The Knoll trail to allow for emergency responders to locate a distress call and response quickly. Please note, the G1-14 numbers on the yellow marker signs as you hike, and in the event of an emergency, this information will allow you to give accurate location information to first responders.
