The park is as rich in natural history as it is in human history. Its great diversity of plant life includes one of the finest riparian areas of any county park. Spring-fed lakes and a marsh support yet more water-loving vegetation. The drier portions of the park include chaparral.
These habitats are home to a wide variety of wildlife. Guajome is one of the North County's best spots for watching birds; at least 186 species have been seen within its boundaries. Numerous small mammals also live here, including long-tailed weasels and bobcats.
Attractions - There's as much to do as there is to see at Guajome. Hikers and horseback riders can explore miles of trails. Shore fishing is available during park hours. Picnickers can choose a lakeside table or one on a grassy hilltop above the lake. One of the most scenic sites in San Diego for a wedding ceremony has to be the gazebo; it is a short walk from the parking lot and is reservable up to a year in advance. The historic Rancho Guajome adobe is open for docent-led tours only at posted times. See Contact Information for reservation phone number. The nearby Antique Gas and Steam Engine museum, open daily, houses an array of working farm equipment.
