Fullerton favorite places to people watch, stretch your legs, and soak in some of the city’s vibe.
I love this nature trail! My favorite part starts a couple blocks away behind the north county courthouse. The walk is fairly easy, you can either hike or ride bikes, lots of people and families walk dogs and there is plenty of room for everyone. Visit MTB project online for trail maps and more information.
