About this Event

Big Sur Land Trust's Carmel River Floodplain Restoration and Environmental Enhancement (CR FREE) project is one of the most extensive and important multi-benefit flood protection and riparian habitat restoration efforts on the Central Coast. Using a nature-based green infrastructure approach, it will reclaim the southern floodplain to direct water away from developed areas north of the river.

This event will be a moderately-paced, staff-led tour. Participants will be led through the Palo Corona Regional Park front ranch to a viewpoint of the CR FREE project site, where they will receive a project overview. Once the project overview has concluded, participants are free to hiking publicly accessible trails or make the return trip back to the parking lot.

Please note that minors will need to be accompanied by an adult. Please leave four-legged friends at home. Thank you!

Bring: Everything you will need for a gentle walk. Closed-toed hiking shoes and layers are strongly recommended.

Walk details:

  • Distance: 3 miles
  • Total ascent: 130 feet
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Surface: Dirt trail (non-technical)
