A large oak at Los Osos Oaks State Reserve
|
Description
- Los Osos Oaks State Reserve features 85 acres of ancient sand dunes covered with centuries-old coast live oak trees. The reserve is located on Los Osos Valley Road in the Los Osos Valley, just outside the town of Los Osos, about halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Los Osos Creek serves as the eastern boundary of this "L"-shaped piece of preserved oak woodland.
Recreation - The Reserve is only a day-use park. Call the park for more information. There are no facilities for camping. Climate - Climate in the Central Coast varies greatly with elevation and the amount of coastal influence. Areas with more coastal influence experience moderate temperatures year round with fog likely from June through mid-August. Plan your coastal visit in the late summer or fall to ensure the best conditions for viewing the scenery. Also, occasional clear days between winter and spring storms are incomparable. Areas further inland experience greater temperature extremes, with relatively cooler winters and hot summers. Inland areas often receive frost on winter nights. As throughout most of California most of the precipitation comes in the winter months, with April through October normally very dry. Location -
