Tucked in the Santa Monica Mountains near Agoura Hills, Malibou Lake is a private reservoir surrounded by rustic homes and hillsides dotted with oak trees. Created in 1922, the Medea and Triunfo creeks feed the reservoir, which sits adjacent to Malibu Creek State Park. The lake has a long history as a Hollywood filming location, most notably Frankenstein (1931)—the iconic scene of the monster and a little girl.

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.
