Originally opened in 1913 by the Forrest Service and with permission of the Franklin Family, for who the Franklin Trail in Carpinteria, California is named, as they are the ones who gave the public permission to use of their land for hiking and picnicking. A big problem came in the 1970`s, when the ranchers of the surrounding properties were concerned about people and horses passing by, their shoes would drop contaminated soils that was fatal to their trees. A different kind of spot to just relax and enjoy, a hand made California Live Oak, Quercus agrifolia, log swing. As enjoyed 23 July 2025.
