Malibu Creek State Park

Note the new start time. Hike begins at 8:00 am

This "loop" hike will take place in Malibu Creek State Park. We'll start on the Yearling Trail at the Reagan Ranch, and procede east through the Regan Meadows to the Lookout Trail. The rising Lookout trail provides the best views of the park. The trail will dump us onto Crag's Rd and from there we will vist Century Lake and have our snack break at the water's edge.

After our snack we'll hook up with Crag's Rd again and return to Reagan Meadows via the Cage Creek trail. We'll head west on the shady Deerleg Trail to meet the Lake View trail which will take us up a ridge in the northwest corner of the park where we will have tremendous views of Malibou Lake. From there we will take my "secret passage" back down to the parking lot.

Hike will be about 7 miles. Net elevation gain is only about 300 hundred feet, but done 3 times through the loop.

Directions to Trailhead

The trailhead parking lot is on the South-East corner of Mullholland Hwy and Cornell Rd. Enter the parking lot from Cornell Rd (Actually you will enter from Lake Vista Dr. That's because Cornell Rd changes name to Lake Vista Dr at Mullholland).

To get there, take the 101 Freeway toward Agoura Hills, get off at Kanan Rd and turn south towards the beach for about 3/4 mile to Cornell Way and turn left. Bear Right onto Cornell Roadand go south for about 3 miles (passing Paramount Ranch), cross Mullholland, and turn left in first driveway .
