The Oasis of Mara Trail is a peaceful, 0.5-mile paved trail that winds around a fan palm oasis. The trail is great for visitors looking for an easy stroll and offers a fantastic opportunity for birdwatching. Watch for common birds such as cactus wren, phainopepla, and Gambel's quail. Along the trail are educational signs about Native American history, knowledge, and modern connection to the area.  

Among the five fan palm oases in Joshua Tree National Park, the Oasis of Mara is one of the easiest to visit and see. The trailhead is located at park headquarters in Twentynine Palms, CA. The trail is wheelchair accessible and stroller friendly.
