Description
Oak Canyon Trail is a 1.3 mile long hike along the western edge of the park. The Trail follows a creek through oak groves past a couple side trails. There is an old cattle pond at the northern end of the trail that often draws wildlife when seasonal rains replenish the water. Thanks to John McKinney, The Trailmaster, for sharing this trail description. To learn more about trails in California, check out his guides at The Trailmaster Store.
