Oak Canyon Nature Center is a 58-acre natural park nestled in the Anaheim Hills. A year-round stream meanders through the park. Consisting of three adjoining canyons, four miles of hiking trails traverse one of the few remaining areas of oak woodland and coastal sage scrub in our region. Native wildlife makes the canyon their home and is just waiting to be discovered. Also located on site is the John J. Collier Interpretive Center, a small museum with live animal and regional natural history exhibits.
The Nature Center is ideal for those who are just stepping into the wilderness for the first time or for those more experienced trekkers who are seeking a short hike.
The Oak Canyon Nature Center has established operational guidelines which are designed to promote the conservation of the Nature Center's wildlife resources, as well as for the benefit and protection of park visitors. The guidelines include:
* No pets or horses allowed on grounds
* No picnicking allowed on grounds
* No collecting of natural objects
* No amplified music
* No bicycles or skateboards
* No hiking off of trails
* No smoking
This is just one of MANY projects in this Nature Center. These two benches are at the top of a steep trail and have a beautiful view. Take water and sunscreen - hat - an all that stuff - and enjoy the view!
