Frog Pond Wetland Preserve — Attraction in Del Rey Oaks

Great little hiking loop, parking can be tight and difficult to use.

Beware of thorns if venturing off path.

No toilet facilities, but trash and recycling avaliable...

Lots to see for such a small space! Best part is the hidden stand of tall redwood trees with benches to sit!

Also, looks like the pond might be a vernal pond since it pretty much was gone on...
