Placerita Canyon Nature Center

To escape the L.A. heat come to the cool and shady Placerita Canyon Nature Center. Filled with oak groves and willows this is a great place for hiking or picnicking. Chapparal-covered slopes provide a habitat for native fauna which live on this 350-acre preserve. Seven trails and guided or self-guided nature hikes will allow you to see it all!
