Description :
If you live in the vicinity of Thousand Oaks then you've got to check this hike out. This one has it all, family friendly, dog friendly, well maintained trails, a waterfall and creek, rock formations, caves, and some really fantastic scenery. The highlight of this hike is the Paradise Falls that exists within the equally impressive Arroyo Conejo gorge. There is also a wide range of plant and animal life in the park. In the spring time, this place just explodes with wild flowers. There's a significant population of mule deer in the park with regular sightings of bobcat and coyote. Mountain lions have been spotted here, so be extra careful when hiking in the latter part of the evening and early in the morning. There were numerous Hollywood movies were filmed here, including "Spartacus" and "Wuthering Heights," as well as TV series including "Wagon Train," "The Rifleman," and "Gunsmoke." In 1967 the Conejo Recreation and Park District (CRPD) acquired Wildwood Canyon and Mount Clef Ridge from the Janss Corporation. The park now falls under the jurisdiction of the Conejo Open Space Conservation Agency (COSCA) which has regular activities, day camps,etc.
