Mission Viejo: New One-Way Direction On Oso Creek Lake Loop Trail

Press release from the City of Mission Viejo:

March 31, 2020

For the health and safety of the community, the City of Mission Viejo is taking steps along the Oso Creek Lake Loop Trail to implement one-way direction starting April 1.

The temporary one-way “clockwise” direction for all bikers, hikers and walkers will be in effect until social distancing guidelines are lifted by state and federal governments.

The move comes amid concerns over a spike in public use and decrease in social distancing, particularly on the Oso Creek Lake Loop Trail along Lake Mission Viejo. The one-way clockwise direction is designed to help patrons adhere to the COVID-19 social distancing guidelines.

Signage and arrows alerting patrons of the change will be installed by noon on April 1.

During this unprecedented time, the City continues to promote COVID-19 health and safety directives while keeping public access available to its open spaces and parks.
