Los Osos Oaks State Natural Reserve
About
Los Osos Oaks State Natural Reserve is an 85-acre park in California, about half a mile from the town of Los Osos. It is managed by the state park agency, State Park and Recreation, and is set aside as a natural reserve rather than a developed recreation area. The weather here stays mild year-round, with no snow days on record at the nearby Morro Bay Fire Dept weather station, 4.6 miles away. Typical averages there make late summer and early fall the most comfortable stretch: September and October run highs around 72°F with lows in the mid-50s and only one or two wet days a month, while winter brings the most rain, about seven or eight wet days a month from January through March. For more time on foot nearby, the Rim Trail lies about 1.8 miles away, and the Manzanita Trail and the unmaintained Hazard Peak Trail are each about 2.2 miles off. Morro Bay State Park Campground, about 4.7 miles away, is the closest campground.
