Hike
Located in the Puente Hills, and managed by the Puente Hills Habitat Preservation Authority, Arroyo Pescadero serves as a link in a wildlife corridor that connects lands that reach from the Whittier Narrows Recreation area in the west to the Cleveland National Forest to the east in Orange County. Park features include an ADA-accessible interpretive trail and decorative gates designed by local high school students and steel artist Brett Goldstone.
Be courteous, informed, and prepared. Read trailhead guidelines, stay on the trail, and don't feed the wildlife.
