Reviews
"I’m so frustrated. I left a message a few weeks ago, and no one called me back. I talked to someone this morning who assured me someone would let us in when we arrived. No answer. Don’t waste your gas."
"This is an extremely birdy, lovely place with friendly caretakers. We had a wonderful two-hour walk around, and had lunch at the picnic tables overlooking the pond. Make sure you call ahead so they know you’re coming!"
"Beautiful area, the new guy is friendly and his intimidating dog will probably lick you death. Nice place to hangout or hike and picnic away from oceanside congestion and street noise. Just call first. Really nice couple that live there."
"Hidden gem! Absolutely beautiful! Hiking trail around the lake is gorgeous with wildflowers galore. Birds chirping and cotton tails hopping across the trail. Perfect time of season to visit. Picnic tables and parking available. Be sure to call beforehand to let them know you are coming."
"Walk around the lake, yes there is a lake tucked back there. Whelan Lake, I was told the place once was a dairy farm owned by the Whelan family , and given to the city of Oceanside to keep as a bird santuary witch it was turned into when the farm was know longer producing dairy products, and bird watching was a hobby of the Mrs. Whelan. Today you are welcomed to visit but must call ahead, gate open from 9 am to 5 pm weekdays, weekend the gate closed, entrance is a city maintenance yard you may call to check, care taker will let you in, they stay on site so respect there space and time and enjoy. Its a dirt road but maintained, a 1mile walk around the lake, with nice views, or tables to sit and enjoy the views. This peaceful place is worth a visit, its not just a walk in the park but a breath of fresh air enjoy"
