로스앤젤레스 카운티‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 호수

While bike paths through Malibu are 'here now" and suddenly gone and you're in traffic, there are few places as pleasant to visit by bicycle as Malibu. Be sure to bike up Malibu Road, but if you're adventurous and in good shape, take the bottom of Mulholland rd (from far north of Malibu) up to the valley side of the canyon. You can then reward yourself with a long downhill ride on curvy Decker. (You'll be on your breaks for miles). This is a great town to lunch, coffee or just watch the waves.

As you ride along Palos Verdes Drive West, look down into Bluff Cove, a scenic rocky cove popular with local surfers, scuba divers, and snorkelers braveing the shoreline. A hiking trail descends to Bluff Cove Beach, with a steeper trail leading to Flat Rock Point, where you can explore tide pools at low tide. Walking south beyond the cove takes you into Palos Verdes Estate Shoreline Preserve, continuing to Palos Verdes Point and the rusted remains of a shipwreck along the Shipwreck Hiking Trail.

Here you will find a water bottle refill station and signage for the 3.5-mile loop trail around Hollywood Reservoir. There are restrooms and free parking is available, though it may be tricky to find a spot midday.

If you come down from Pincrest Dr, cross the bridge and keep right walking a loop to get under the bridge. From here follow the creek by crossing the stream over rocks and trunks around 10 times before you reach the small lake with the waterfall. Have great fun by taking a "shower".

All along the Los Angeles River there is a parallel Greenway, covered by bridges and with some green areas ideal to rest at any point of the way. As you probably guessed, the river flows all the way through LA, so cycle's forecast is sightseeing!

Lake Balboa Park is a charming place with plenty of parking space, picnic tables, a restaurant, public restrooms and a long greenway by the lake's shore. It is also known for the several Japanese Cherry Blossom trees all over the park's surface.

Along the river there are several nice bike trails that allow you to avoid traffic and enjoy a bit of nature. The trails go under the bridges and give you a view of the river. On either side of the river there are several nice green areas like Lake Balboa Park, Balboa Sports Center and 3 municipal golf courses.

If you are looking for a scenic and refreshing trail run in the Santa Monica Mountains, you should check out the Rock Pool at Malibu Creek State Park. This 2-mile out-and-back trail follows the creek through oak and sycamore woodlands, offering views of volcanic rock gorges and pools. The Rock Pool is a popular spot for swimming, picnicking, and even cliff-jumping, if you are feeling adventurous. You can also extend your run by exploring other trails in the park, such as the Grassland Trail or the M*A*S*H site. Just make sure to bring enough water, sunscreen, and trash bags, as the park can get hot and crowded in the summer. And don’t forget to enjoy the beauty of nature and the history of this park, which has been used as a filming location for many movies and TV shows.
