Northern San Luis Obispo County Coastal Trail Master Plan Fiscalini Ranch There are several existing recreational trails on the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve. 1 The existing Bluff Trail closely follows the shoreline and is presently open only to hikers. The Marine Terrace Trail is 20 feet wide, ADA-compliant, and accessible to all types of trail users, including emergency vehicles. These trails are accessed from the north on Windsor Boulevard and terminate at the southern edge of the Preserve at South Windsor Boulevard and Marlborough Lane. There are therefore several opportunities for the CCT to cross the Fiscalini Ranch Preserve on existing trails. Additional trails may be available along the ridgeline or returning to Highway 1. Estero Bluffs Trail Estero Bluffs State Park poses an interesting opportunity and challenge for the development of the CCT. The existing trail is marked by vertical accesses connect parking areas on Highway 1 to the beach and a minimally developed trail parallels the coastal bluff. 2.2.4. Trails Potentially Connecting to the CCT Much of the Study Area is on land managed by DPR. Trails adjacent to the CCT Study Area provide opportunities to connect to destinations in DPR, Cambria, and USFS Lands. San Simeon State Park San Simeon State Park is one of the oldest units in the California State Park system, encompassing wetland and upland habitats. A 3.3-mile trail runs through parts of the San Simeon Natural Preserve and the Washburn Campground. A 0.4-mile segment of the trail is accessibly designed, including a boardwalk that overlooks seasonal wetlands. The trail includes scenic overlooks, rest-stop benches, and interpretive panels with information on wildlife and habitat. Connection with the CCT is possible at San Simeon Creek. Cambria Trail Connections The boardwalk parallel to Moonstone Beach Drive is recommended to become a part of the CCT, and there are many other trails in and around the village of Cambria that provide access to its attractions, shopping districts, and residential areas. The Santa Rosa Creek West Trail stretches for approximately 1.5 miles between the Waste Water Treatment Plant, the 1 Fiscalini Ranch Preserve Master EIR 2-16 The Santa Rosa Creek Trail in Cambria connects to Fiscalini Ranch
Setting West Fiscalini Ranch Preserve, and Highway 1. Trails cross Highway 1 along Santa Rosa Creek, through the East Fiscalini Ranch Preserve, continuing to Santa Lucia Middle School. Strawberry Canyon Park in Cambria also provides a short hiking trail. Harmony Headlands State Park Located in Harmony Headlands State Park, the one-mile Headlands Trail is signed with the CCT insignia and will provide vertical access to the beach from the likely trail corridor along Highway 1. 2.3. Existing and Planned Bike Facilities Most of the study area is under the jurisdiction of the San Luis Obispo County Bikeways Plan, updated most recently in 2010. A list of on-street bicycle facilities in the Study Area appears in Table 2-4.

Existing Bicycle Facilities on Highway 1 Review of bicycle access conditions on Highway 1 within the Study Area (moving north to south) shows that access varies from good to virtually absent: � On the winding and steep road to Ragged Point from the Monterey / San Luis Obispo County line a shoulder ranges from very narrow to absent. � For the next five miles between milepost (MP) 65 and the bridge over San Carpoforo River at mile marker MP71 the shoulder width varies between a narrow shoulder, soft shoulder and absent. Near the Piedras Blancas Lighthouse, there are environmental protection areas that are fenced-off and signposted with “no stopping or parking” signs. � Towards Piedras Blancas, the Highway 1 shoulder begins to widen to approximately 3 to 5 feet. � Moonstone Beach Drive a designated Class III bike route at the north end of Cambria, is an alternative route to Highway 1 for cyclists featuring traveler amenities such as popular rest and picnic areas at State Park beaches, bed & breakfasts and motels with coast views. 2-17
