The Ohlone Loop Trail offers a birder's paradise in a wetland area of Watsonville on California's central coast. Its location, bordering a residential area, provides easy access for residents to experience the natural habitats of the Struve Slough. Along the 3-mile paved pathway, you might see owls, falcons, hawks, ducks and other waterfowl or raptors.
At the northern end of the trail, cross Main Street to pick up
Upper Struve Slough Trail for further exploring of the scenic waterway. Or, explore a neighboring marsh along the
Watsonville Slough Trail.
On the eastern side of the Struve Slough, access to the Ohlone Slough Trail is available at the Harkins Slough Road and Ohlone Parkway intersection. On the western side of the waterway, parking can be found in the retail areas along Westridge Drive.
