A beautiful setting of nature at the Nature Center and extending park trails! It’s an educational experience for young and older visitors to learn about the local wildlife.
A short hike of under two hours may be done here, even when the Nature Center is closed. Access is thru the lower trail from East Walnut Canyon Road.
There’s both compacted and powdery dirt trails within Oak Canyon Park. The trails continue up through the canyon and into the right and left flanks, further extending up along the sides to and from pathways, connecting thru with residential neighborhoods.
The northeast Roadrunner Trail passes high up near cave like formations, winds and traverses up near the Walnut Canyon Reservoir’s Periphery Road paved trail, a separate hike itself, or can be included...
endurance and time permitting!
The parking with main entrance can be accessed via Walnut Canyon Road, just past the Anaheim Hills Golf Club.
There’s picnic tables and restrooms at the parking lot.
Oak Canyon Nature Center Trails are open everyday from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
Oak Canyon Nature Center Visitor’s Center has information, park staff and interesting exhibits. Posted access hours are Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. There’s no charge for admission, tho a $5.00 donation is suggested and appreciated!
To access the Walnut Canyon Reservoir trail, take the steps up from the highest point of the Roadrunner trail to the Reservoir Periphery Rd.
Additional exhibits with upgraded signage has been added for more informative wilderness knowledge!
