A roughly 2-mile round-trip hike past Lizard Rock to a 40-foot waterfall splashing into a shady canyon pool — best after winter rains and a hit with adventurous kids.

Amazing convenient hiking trail complete with picnic areas, streams, elevation gain/loss, and a WATERFALL!! Did you even know they had those here in Ventura County? Look no further, get your booty down to Paradise Falls in Wildwood Regional Park and check it out for yourself. Pretty sweet loop trail with some interesting wildlife if you go when visitors are sparse. Always better (and safer) with a friend or pet, and sunrise is optimal!

Good starter hiking trails to moderate level… Hikes can go from 3-7 miles long depending on what trail you take. All trails intertwine at some point. Beautiful scenery overall, trails are solid, well maintained and overall clean. Recommend this stop to all, get there early if you want to find parking.

Moderate to easy hike! Took my mom & 3 year old, they did perfectly fine. There’s places to take breaks along the trail in case you guys want to take quick snack breaks etc. we also found a baby frog & a baby duck

The entire trail is a bit challenging. It's quite long and steep, with many steps and it's also rather slippery, so it's advisable to wear anti-slip shoes. The difficulty level is moderate and it's good for exercise. There is a waterfall at the deepest part, and some people swim and dive in it, which is quite dangerous.

Great place to visit with plenty to see in a close proximity. There are multiple trails to make visit flexible. It can get busy on weekend and holidays though.
