Irvine's Open Space

A walk in the parks

By Irvine City News staff

Irvine is a paradise for those who love the outdoors. While many residents access the network of bike and hiking trails within and adjacent to the city, there are other trails in beautiful wilderness areas that are only open for scheduled activities or docent-led programs.

The Irvine Ranch Conservancy is a nonprofit organization created to help care for the 50,000 acres of permanently protected wildlands and parks in and surrounding Irvine. Because the Conservancy’s mission includes balancing recreation and conservation, many areas within Irvine Ranch Open Space can be experienced only via guided hikes. This includes some incredible trails in Bommer Canyon and above Quail Hill and Shady Canyon in the Laguna Wilderness Park.

For those who prefer to explore on their own, each month the Conservancy opens trail networks in certain protected areas to hikers, runners and mountain bikers during Wilderness Access Days.

Upcoming access days include trails in and around Bommer Canyon (April 16, May 21 and June 18).
​
Wilderness Access Days in Irvine Ranch National Landmarks outside the city include Black Star Canyon (May 7) and Limestone Canyon Nature Preserve (April 2 and June 4). letsgooutside.org.
