Our City Expert's Tips


The park is usually closed for about three days after heavy rain. It can get pretty windy here, which may also close it down.

Outdoorsy
Maps are available at the trailheads and at the Orange County Natural History Museum near the entrance. Pop in here for a quick overview of the park's flora and fauna and to ask the friendly docents to help you identify a trail suitable to your time frame and group's fitness level. The museum also has water and snacks. It's a pretty hilly park, so you'll probably break out a sweat, especially if you climb up to one of the viewpoints such as the top of Moulton Peak or the top the Meadows Trail (great views, though, and worth the effort).

Keep it Clean
Please do not litter!
