The nearby town of Lodi is known for its mascot, Susie the Duck, named for a mallard that laid her eggs and hatched her brood right in the middle of downtown. Since then other ducks have come to the same spot to hatch their ducklings as well. Every summer Lodi hosts Susie the Duck Day, with events that include a parade, carnival midway, and duck derby on nearby Spring Creek.

Miles and Directions

0.0 Begin the hike at the trailhead, following the wide paved road as it winds uphill.

0.5 Reach a small spur trail near the top of the Gibraltar Rock and veer right onto it, following the narrow path just above the edge of the sheer rock face. Caution: There are no safety railings.

0.7 Move away from the edge as you begin a gradual descent, following the path through thick woods.

1.0 Exit the woods and step onto the paved road, veering right onto the track and following it downhill.

1.4 Arrive back at the gate and trailhead.
