Overview

Park Visits
Most such reserves are unstaffed and not open to the public. However, BSER is one of the jewels of the reserve system. It is open to the public (hikers only, no bicyclists), has a full-time naturalist on duty (the only staffed state reserve in San Diego County). The City of Poway staff coordinates with more than 40 docents who offer a variety of programs to the public, including elementary school field trips, guided hikes, campfire programs, and special topic hikes such as Owl Prowls.
Approximately 40,000 people visit the reserve each year, with an average of about 100 per day. Most of these visitors are school groups, and individuals exercising in the early morning and late afternoon. |
