The Lagoon Trail is a fun extension off of the Briones Crest Trail on the north side of Briones Regional Park. While this trail isn't a walk in the park, it does have some nice views. The first mile is a steady downhill on a wide path through open fields. After passing the junction with a short spurt to the north (that dead ends at private property) the trail turns east, and you'll start to climb back to the Briones Crest Trail.<br><br>This part of the trail heads through the woods which offer some nice shade on hotter days. In the last quarter mile, the trail will head past a small pond called Sindicich Lagoon where the park's resident cows like to hang out.
