Canebrake is one of Julian’s most unique desert communities. Founded in the 1940s as a series of “Jackrabbit homesteads,” the small community began with settlers building homes from ‘found’ materials. Surrounded by the Anza Borrego Desert on three sides, Canebrake formed its community water system that is still in operation. The area has attracted individuals and families drawn to the intentional community of artists. Canebrake is located off the Historic S-2 Route, also known as the Great Overland Stage Route-GSO, about 22 miles from I-8. With a lack of ambient light from a large town, stars are brilliant, and wildlife is abundant. The Canebrake Community Association is non-HOA and is an all-volunteer organization that works to keep the community spirit alive.
