A short hike in Eaton Park

Location: Eaton Park

» Official Trail Map by City of San Carlos: Good map showing various trails. Elevation profile and trail segment lengths are missing.

» Redwoodhikes Trail Map: Great map showing many parks like Purisima Creek, Huddart, Wunderlich, El Corte De Madera, Foothills, Hidden Villa and Rancho San Antonio. Trail maps for individual parks are available online for free. However, the RedwoodHikes map shows the big picture and is helpful for planning hikes that go through multiple parks.

This hike stays within Eaton Park and covers all major trails. There are no signs at trail junctions. It is best to study the Official Trail Map (some trails are missing in this map) and the GPS Tracks (see link at the top of the page) to infer the route.
