The Interpretive Center is currently open 9 am – 3 pm, Saturdays & Sundays, and the Olivenhain Municipal Water District is seeking more docents to expand the days and hours of operation. For information on becoming a volunteer docent at the center, call 760-632-4212.

News 8 - Olivenhain Reservoir overlook

On May 14, KMFB News 8 aired a story about the Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve and Interpretive Center opening. The video is no longer available on their site, but you can find the text of the story here.

“With its natural terrain and beautiful vistas, San Diego County is a hiker and biker’s paradise and home to a scenic North County park that is truly a hidden gem.

“The best thing that the neighborhood of Elfin Forest has going for it is nothing, nothing but open space and spectacular vistas at the recreation reserve.”
