An absolutely beautiful place to hike, and enjoy the views. After all the rain, everything looks so green and pleasant. This is a very family friendly hike. You can choose to just walk on the paved road, or take a stroll in the different hiking trails. We’ve done most of the park, and the trails are easy to walk on. There’s a little stream of water on the side of the main road that is nice to see. There’s a big pond where you can see dozens of turtles, fish, and you can hear frogs/toads mating calls. Most likely you’ll also hear and see many woodpeckers. There’s picnic tables throughout the park where you can sit and take a break. On the park area, there’s bathrooms that are always very clean. And an area where you can refill your water bottles with cold water. It’s also dog friendly, and it’s always nice to see the pups enjoying their walks. There’s different areas to park your car. Be careful driving up the mountains though, the roads are extremely narrow in some areas. And try to get there early, so you can avoid the heat during the hot weather.
Great hike nestled off coldwater canyon in Beverly Hills. Can hike to the top of the mountain or walk around the lake that was the backdrop for The Andy Griffith show. See the turtle and duck pond or picnic at one of the many tables scattered throughout the area or just enjoy some peace…..wonderful experience.
Is a hidden gem full of history as a Hollywood film location. Beautiful and peaceful with ducks turtles songbirds. Parking areas available adjacent to the perimeter road. Nice easy walking trails around the little lake. Hard to believe it’s nestled within a city.
