Governance
The San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority (JPA) operates and maintains a non-motorized public trail network throughout the park.
Trail System
The Coast to Crest Trail is the backbone multi-use trail, extending from the ocean at Del Mar to the San Dieguito River's source on Volcan Mountain near Julian. As of the May 2026 page, 49 of the planned 71 miles of the Coast to Crest Trail are completed, and over 20 miles of auxiliary trails within the park are open.

Source Notes
The single source is the official San Dieguito River Park page retrieved in May 2026. It supports attributed statements about the park's founding year, mission, regional extent, governing Joint Powers Authority, and trail system.
The page also lists an office/contact address, timely "what's happening" news items, and individual events. Those are intentionally excluded: the office address describes the organization's location rather than the 55-mile greenway, and the news and event items are timely material rather than durable reference content.
This is a narrow ecology and greenway context page based on the official San Dieguito River Park page checked in May 2026. It is not a current trail-conditions report, trail map, access guide, or event schedule.
This page treats that as the organization's stated description of its role, not as a current operations or management-status report.
Treat those mileage figures as the page's stated, source-dated numbers rather than a current count. Trail mileage, alignment, and status change as segments are built; recheck the official source before relying on current figures.
