Heise Park stands out as a unique destination in San Diego County, being one of the few parks that experiences annual snowfall. Spanning 929 acres at an elevation of 4,200 feet, this stunning park is nestled within a serene forest of pines and oaks at the northern edge of the Laguna Mountain Range.
Visitors can explore nearly 11 miles of peaceful hiking and horseback riding trails that wind through picturesque mountain meadows surrounded by lush oak, pine, and cedar forests. Wildlife enthusiasts will delight in spotting mule deer and wild turkeys, while rare sightings of bobcats and mountain lions add to the park's allure.
Each season transforms Heise Park, offering a fresh experience from winter's snowy landscapes to vibrant spring wildflowers. The park is equipped with various accommodations, including cabins, trailer sites, tent sites, and a group-tent area, making it an ideal spot for families and groups.
Additional amenities include playgrounds, restrooms with coin-operated showers, and numerous picnic areas for visitors to enjoy. Every weekend, park rangers host engaging activities, and the park office features a small museum that is open during the day or by appointment. With its breathtaking scenery and versatile facilities, Heise Park is also a beautiful venue for weddings and special events.
