Beautiful place with walks/trails for every ability.
Be aware of your surroundings as we did come across a rattle snake on a path!

Hard to believe this wooded oasis is right smack in the middle of LA! Short drive (15 min) from Rodeo Dr area through a pretty neighborhood and a canyon up to the nature preserve. We did not have a problem with parking rufht next to the trails, but I think you can park below if an issue. Parking lots on either side. The road through it is a big U shape. There’s a reservoir and short hiking trails all around. On the west side is a really cute turtle pond that’s great for people that might have difficulty walking as it’s all flat and a short distance and you can park right in front. Enjoy this beautiful area anytime you need have a need for some nature. But watch out - POISON OAK everywhere along the trail. It’s cut back but be careful.

Wilderness found in the Middle of the city. Great for weekday visits, crowded on weekends. Great short hiking paths. Saw a eagle up close

Very nice and quiet place. There are many trails you can try or just walk around the lake..

This is a short trail but worth it! There's a duck/turtle pond, trail loops around it, lots of vegetation. Parking is not a hassle ( if you get there early) kids friendly

Easy, relaxing, dog friendly 1.5 mile walk around the reservoir. Not far from Beverly Hills or the Valley coming up Cold Water Canyon but woodsy enough to feel like your are away from the city.
Sit by the water and admire ducks, turtles and Coy fish or setup camp on one of the many benches throughout. Great for an outdoor gathering with parking opportunities all around the reservoir.
If 1.5 miles isn't enough you can venture off on a few off trails that lead away from the reservoir.

One of my favorite places to hike. A number of options to explore, so you can find your own little corner to claim picnic tables, ponds & turtles!!
I will say it was a bit frustrating to see people feeding the wildlife even though it's explicitly friends upon and there are signs everywhere.
Great place to have a picnic, take a hike, and enjoy some fresh air & beautiful greenery.

One of the better spots in LA, with hikes that range and difficulty and are less crowded than those based out of the tree people park across the way.

I love this place and luckily I've nearby. Whenever I need a break from the world, or just LA, I come over here. It's tranquil, quiet and peaceful. It's very common not hear cars at all and instead hear ducks. It's like a surreal quick mini-vacation. All those pine trees surrounding the lake make you feel like you're in the mountains or just not in California. It's highly recommend if you have children. There is a duck pond with Koi fish and turtles, and there's a path tucked right next to the water all around the lake, except for where the dam is. There are takes and benches all around the lake and trails. We picnic here a lot.
