Elfin Forest-Lake Hodges
The Elfin Forest Road is a great little detour off the I-5 Freeway on your way to San Diego. The twisty roads are a blast and the scenery is beautiful. The ride returns along the edge of Lake Hodges. This is a magnificent little lake that is missed by all those who never leave the freeways. If you are lucky, you may see the elfs passing out cookies to the hungry Harley riders.
We have attached a map showing the route along with detailed turn by turn directions and mileage from the La Costa Ave exit from the I-5.
