    Hiking

    Lion Canyon Trail follows Lion Canyon Creek until the trail is divided in a fork. Both sides of the fork end up in waterfalls, with paid campsites close to the waterfall, named East Fork Camp and West Fork Camp. If you take the middle fork, the trail goes to Sespe Wilderness, ending at Nordhoff Road Ridge. The road that gives access to this trail is closed as of winter 2023 due to storm damage. For up-to-date closure information, check: fs.usda.gov/detail/lpnf/alerts-notices/?cid=stelprdb5309152
