Apple Picking in Oak Glen

We love visiting Oak Glen every fall! We usually visit:

Los Rios Rancho for apples

free Oak Glen Preserve - don’t miss the “Children’s Forest” nature area down the hill which is often less crowded than elsewhere!

Snow Line for donuts

playground at the old Schoolhouse if its open

I wrote this post on local apple picking a few years ago… planning to update it this fall!
