Lakeview Staging Area

The Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) is constructing a new one-acre staging area at Lakeview Avenue and Quarry Road to provide equestrian and pedestrian access to the Sweetwater Loop trail Segment 5, and pedestrian access to Segments 6 and 7. The staging area will be accessed off Lakeview Avenue, and will include stabilized decomposed granite surfacing, ADA accessible parking, equestrian trailer parking, a pad for a portable restroom, and vehicle gates that will be locked at night.

The Sweetwater Authority and the County of San Diego have been actively working on establishing the alignment and constraints associated with what sometimes is referred to as the "North Loop Trail at Sweetwater Reservoir". There are several segments of the Sweetwater Reservoir Loop Trail, some of which already exist (Segments 1-4). Segments 5-10 are the portions currently being considered. Segments 5-8 are proposed to be located on the north side of Sweetwater Reservoir from Lakeview Avenue to the intersection of Jamacha Blvd and Reservoir Drive.Â
