This is an alternate trail along the northern shore of Heron Bay that is closer to the water. Follow the shoreline for 0.3 miles until you briefly reach East Shore Trail again. Stay left and keep following the gently descending and ascending trail. After 1 mile, the trail ascends steadily to the ridgeline offering nice views of Lake Del Valle and the entire park.
