Description
This is probably the most picturesque walk you can take in Wildwood Park. Going along the creek, there are three campgrounds where you can take breaks. I especially like to take a long break at the falls, looking for turtles, and taking many pictures. Amazing that we have a waterfall like this right in the middle of the suburbs. This trail begins at the bottom of Lizard Rock Trail and takes you into Arroyo Conejo Open Space. Be careful, This section contains a lot of Poison Oak.
