Topanga State Park, Los Angeles

I barely enter this park on my weekly hikes. However, what I do see is a beautiful, clean, and well-worth-the-visit park. You can take your kids, dogs, friends, and bikes here. Make sure you bring a reusable water bottle and stay hydrated, especially during mid day visits. I recommend getting here early, like right when it opens, to avoid being in that hot LA sun. If you take your pets, keep an eye on their paw pads. The sharp terrain has been known to scrape up our dogs from time to time.

Awesome hike here on a sunny day. We took the fire road. It's a moderate hike not too strenuous. We did come across a baby rattle snake so be cautious. Also the views are superb.

There are plenty of (easy, moderate, and hard) trails in this park. Scenery is really great. Good for running, walking, hiking and/or trekking. Parking is mostly available depending on where you enter the park, I never had any issue with parking.

Love this place. Go hiking here regularly. Used to live in Topanga for a year or so and felt like being in countryside while within half hour of the city. Lots of great hikes and trails. Lots of wildlife and great views. If you go, please keep it clean. Dogs not allowed. Enjoy

Nice hikes. Cool lookout on eagle rock. Not the most amazing place ever but worth a stroll if you've got free time in the area.
