Santa Paula Canyon Trail passes by some beautiful waterfalls, and there are some river crossings along the trail. Due to floods in January 2023, part of the trail was destroyed, but it is still accessible to a more adventurous hiker. There are no restrooms at the trailhead.

Unfortunately due to the January 2023 floods, part of the trail has been wiped out and therefore the trailhead is closed. Hopefully it will be fixed in the future!

Running

This trailhead marks the starting point of your run along the East Fork Trail, which transitions into a paved pathway for a short distance before joining the Santa Paula Canyon Trail. Along the way, you'll experience the beauty of several river crossings and waterfalls, but be mindful of the steep drop-offs and high cliffs. It's best to plan this run on weekdays to avoid the weekend crowds, as it is one of the most popular trails in Ventura County. Please note that no restrooms are available at the trailhead, so plan accordingly.
