I've hiked to the waterfall at Eaton Canyon a couple of times. The hike is fairly easy, especially enjoyed crossing the streams. Although crowded during the weekends it's still nice to get away from the city. The hike is made better by how much shade is along the trail. However, the beauty of the place is ruined by trash, in... More

Love it. My kids are still a little young for this place, with the boulder hopping and all, but I can't wait to take them.

We hiked alongside the stream to the waterfall. One member of our group had the foresight to get a map at the visitor center before we took off. Probably would have been okay without it, but better safe than sorry. The trail is flatish and very easy for the first half mile. After that, there are several ups and downs... More

I have been here to EAton canyon few times. The trail is very easy. Your toddler and small dogs won't have any problem exploring the trail. The waterfalls is OK. But if for a beginner hiker and wanted to see waterfalls at the end, this is the place for you. I'm disappointed for the other hikers who leaves their trash... More

My daughter and her girlfriend asked me to go on a walk with them, but I never imagined our walk would be so adventurous. This 3 mile hike was filled with running rivers, some rock climbing, balancing across waters, beautiful scenery, awesome photo ops and a beautiful waterfall at the end of the trail. Not being an experienced hiker or... More

Great canyon and exellent walking paths. This was something I happened to stumble upon and was glad that I did. It is worth the trip. And the best thing is it's free.

Pleasant hiking trails in a corner of LA county that is about as wilderness-y as the area gets. The paths aren't too challenging (mostly) -- we've been bringing little kids and dogs for years. But you do have to be aware of the stream if it's been raining, there's no guarantee there's an easy way across. And rattlesnakes are always... More

It is a nice place for hiking. It is not extreme. Go prepare: hiking boots, water and nutritive snacks, as well with some friends. Keep on the trails.

This is a great place for a hike! The trail is not difficult, and it's fun crossing back and forth over the stream. The falls are always refreshing-perfect for wading on a hot day. Sometimes the trail is crowded. If you go on a weekend, be prepared to see lots of families and groups on the trail. Weekdays are more... More
