Great hike with lots of trails all over. The views are breathtaking of the whole ocean, Malibu and Los Angeles areas. Moderate hike depending on how far you go and what trails you choose. We started at the Los Leones trail head. It is very busy on the weekends. Hiking boots are not needed, it's a gradual climb with many switch backs. No bathrooms close by and parking can be hard to find on busy days. Trails are narrow at the beginning of the first mile, but it gets wider as you get to the top and then you can hike further up on a wider trail/road. There are lots of lookout points and one park bench at the first upper stopping point. Watch for snakes on hot days. Bring plenty of water and sun protection if you are worried about heat as there isn't shade. There's so much to explore and many different starting points so plan and prepare and have fun.

It's January 15, 2022. A gloomy Saturday afternoon. Temperature is perfect for hiking. You can already see some wild flowers are starting blooming. You can see the damage the hard rain caused (very deep holes in the ground). Still It's beautiful. You can see the San Fernando Valley all the way to Simi Valley in the back. At some points, you can see snow covered hills in the back far away.

Great hiking area. I came to check out the trail after the fires. Looked pretty apocalyptic until I found the little plants and trees growing amongst the ash. Great hike. Wear a hat as most of the shade has been burnt away.

Took the Bonehead trail. Make sure to bring exact change as the station is unmanned, and for those wondering it does get checked at random to make sure you paid. It's $7 for day parking. This trail doesn't lead to the waterfall or Eagle Rock. We suggest you park at a closer lot if you want to get to those locations. Overall, this trail is fairly easy and mostly shaded.

An all time favorite park of mine! This urban respite is within easy access of the Los Angeles area, both from the San Fernando Valley, and from the south, thru the Pacific Palisades. I’ve had good times here hiking, biking, and having picnics with friends and family! The park entrance has signage directing visitors to pay and display stubs or pay online. There’s also street parking along Entrada Rd. where it may be safe to do so! Also for long distance trail user’s, parking down at Palisades Highlands and hiking up may be possible. Access from the lower trails may be affected after the most recent wildfires. Making the best of it, even a short hike from the entrance, thru to the edge, or lookout and around back to Entrada Rd, makes for a glorious time! This short loop can be completed in under an hour, passing thru a mix of coastal desert hills and oak tree wilderness, including ocean views! Fair warning, watch out for wildlife! Wild deer are plentiful out here, and can be very skittish if encountered suddenly, so I freeze at first sight and try to get a better look at these graceful creatures. While I’ve heard about wildcats and coyotes, I’ve never had a problem with them in all the times I’ve gone hiking here. Though have almost stepped on a large rattlesnake, and now watch my step on those trails! Another concern especially at the creeks along the lower trails, are ticks. These little critters like moist, dark places and can quickly hitch a ride on unsuspecting hikers. I’ve made it a practice to do a body check in the restroom, before getting back in my vehicle! Sun exposure may be a consideration, so best be prepared, taking appropriate measures for any length of trails and time out in the open!

My father and I (two big dudes from Michigan) had a blast here hiking up to Eagle Rock and back. I wouldn’t recommend coming here if you weren’t going willing to dedicate a bit of time walking on the trails. Pay attention to the trail signs and you should be good. Make sure you go up the road and down the trail. We went up the trail and down the road, which is apparently more difficult. We saw some breathtaking scenery and some critters—including rattlesnakes. We will definitely head back here the next time we are in the area. We wanted to go to the waterfall as well, but we were running out of time, unfortunately.

A great trail for family walks. Best advice do the Musch trail and return through the fire road downhill all the way from Eagle Rock. Arrive early to secure parking spaces inside the park. Else if, there'll be spaces to park outside. We were lucky to see some deer grazing very close to us. Very educational trip

This is a GIGANTIC state park with a dazzling array of hiking and bike trails and lots more. Anyone looking to get away from the stress of urban living should seek treatment here. The Canyon will see you now!

Always a great place to hike. Good for families. Munsch trail, nature trail particularly good for the little ones. Both have rest rooms. Try to beat there when opening as parking lot is small and fills up. $10 day use.

Topanga State Park is open from 8am – Sunset. Be aware that dogs are not allowed on the trails. The park features some easily manageable trails. The trails have trees at some point which makes it look like a small fairy tale wood. Be aware that there are rattle snakes, so careful where you step. I actually encountered one.

Really a spectacular place for a 4-5 hour in and out hike. We made it all the way up to Eagle Rock. We napped and relaxed on the rock before sunset. All in all, a very worthwhile trip to see the Santa Monica mountains, the sky, and the ocean in the distance

Visiting Topanga State Park was like taking a step back in time. The views were stunning, and the landscape was breathtaking. We had the opportunity to hike up to some beautiful overlooks with spectacular views of the canyons and the ocean. The trails were challenging but manageable. There was so much to explore in the park and so many different types of plants and wildlife. Overall, Topanga State Park is a fantastic experience that I highly recommend to anyone searching for an outdoor adventure.

Great place to hike with a variety of trails. Nice shade in the valley to escape the heat on hot days and great views from on top of the ridges.

Awesome place for hiking and stress relief. It’s a beautiful creation by Almighty Allah .

Beautiful place to do hiking, and have a chill day, among friends and Family.

Beautiful beach, easy parking just don't be a jerk or the locals will check you.

Very nice park with a lot of rolling mountains. Great view of the Pacific ocean.

Lots of trails with views of the ocean.

Such a nice hike! If you’re going to use the area, help contribute to its upkeep by paying for parking instead of parking on the side of the road.

Hiked this a few times now. Super quiet and relaxing hike with some incredible views. Moderately difficult, but the final spot is really worth the adventure!

Easy-moderate hike. After visiting the eagle rock and the cave, we took another trail on your way back (right side) which goes to the ranch and finally to the parking lot. Be careful when you want to see the cave. And finally, synthesize with the nature⚘.

Nice State Park. Nestle in the hills of quirky town of Topanga Canyon, wander amongst the shady canyons and up to top of hills where the blinding blue sky dissolves into the immense Pacific ocean. Not very crowded but watchout for mountain bikers racing by. Once above the canyons it is very exposed, bring plenty of water and sun protection. Mostly nice wide open fire roads. Please help keep the park pristine look, pack it in pack it out, and take only pictures.

Lovely place! i ride and run there all the time.
