Otay Valley Regional Park — Attraction in San Diego

I hate writing bad reviews, but I feel it’s important to pass on some information so there won’t be any surprises. Went here on a Sunday afternoon with my S.O. and upon entering near the ranger station parking, a homeless woman came out of the restroom area speaking loudly and waving her arms around. She literally came charging after our car. We immediately reversed and drove back towards the road, even while waiting for the traffic to clear the woman was staring at our car; as if to ensure that we were leaving. This is frustrating to say the least, but since we had driven out there to be in nature, I refused to allow some random lady ruining our Sunday. We drove back and parked right in front of the ranger station for safety, which was a good thing to do, as she came back towards us as we were leaving.

The trails here are abundant, lots of trees and bushes, many people have set up camps and some still present. A great place to get lost from time to time, or just do some birdwatching.

This land has been a trail used by humans for over 7000 years, and filled with energy vortexs. There's a strange presence which can be felt at times, perhaps spirits of undiscovered corpses or vampire victims.

The Otay Valley Regional Park represents one of the major open spaces within the southern area of San Diego County. It will provide South Bay residents and visitors recreational opportunities ranging from playing fields and picnic areas to hiking, biking, and horse trails.

Gates at the stations are open at sunrise and close at dusk. Again, great place but visitors should not walk...
