EL DORADO NATURE CENTER REVIEWS
A beautiful place to walk through and enjoy nature. Lovely lakes connected by a creek that winds its way through the nature park. Unpaved walking trails. Many different types of trees. Several types of waterfowl can be seen on any given day - ducks, egrets, coots, cormorants and herons are the most common, and often Canadian geese. Lots of turtles in the lakes. Squirrels and rabbits can often be seen as well. There's a quarter-mile paved trail for those who need a firm surface. There are benches at certain points along the trails for resting and meditation. A charming, peaceful oasis away from the bustling city!!
A beautiful urban oasis of hiking trails consisting of shaded well-maintained paved and dirt paths along with ponds and streams. You can choose 1/4 mile, 1 or 2-mile loops. There are conveniently placed restrooms and water fountains with lots of benches along the way. It's a very easy, relaxing hike. The trails have much less foot traffic on weekdays than on weekends, although the Nature Center is very popular, so you are never alone on the trails no matter when you go. $6 parking and well-stocked restrooms at the entrance!
This place made me rethink whether all the other 5 star trails actually worth the rate! This trail is so otherworldly beautiful and the wilderness was well preserved. Anyone who comes by Long Beach, don’t miss it ! Different levels of hiking challenge ranging from 1-4 miles loop route. It took us 1.5 hr to finish a one-mile loop with our toddler. Although there’s no bike allowed, my kiddo had so much fun just walk around and cross all bridges! I feel so jealous of the people who live nearby!

Dominguez Gap Wetlands is a well-renowned hiking area in Long Beach. The park has 37 acres of land, expanding into a wetland with multipurpose opportunities. It is an Urban escape along the LA River. The open space offers expanded incentives for public outdoor facilities, such as an equestrian trail, bike path, hike, and walking paths. From 0.3 miles to Los Cerritos Park Place, you can see the beautiful water pools, and a spot is a perfect place for birdwatching. The trail borders the wetlands, briefly sharing a section of the cycle path, passing under a railway bridge before eventually reaching a turning point.

DOMINGUEZ GAP WETLANDS REVIEWS
Despite being city- like in some parts, the rest of it is very peaceful and beautiful. We saw turtles, sparrows, a hummingbird, a heron, and many ducks. We took our dogs who enjoyed the walk as well. The two-mile loop which at a leisurely pace, we completed in an hour!
Great little escape from the urban area for a hike or bike or horse ride. Dogs are allowed. Sometimes the bugs from the wetland are flourishing and it's all part of the experience. Access to river bed bike path. Recommended!!
This is a great hike to get away from the city. Lots of wilderness and beautiful views!
