San Andreas Trail and Nature Trail Loop in Sanborn County Park is a popular 1.8-mile loop that takes about 47 minutes to complete. This soft adventure trail winds through a shady redwood and oak forest, crossing Aubrey Creek and passing by Walden Pond. Keep an eye out for newts in the ponds and creeks during winter! The trail offers glimpses of beautiful wildflowers and stunning views, making it a great spot for birding, camping, and hiking. Don't forget to check out the cool hollowed-out stump and enjoy a picnic at one of the many tables scattered along the route.
