Finally completed doing all the different paths, it's intense! If you have a mountain bike you can probably do all of them in one day. If you're on foot, it may take about 6 different trips to actually complete all the different paths. Definitely worth it! Bring water 💧 and come prepared for a solid leg workout! Lol enjoy!!! 🏞❤️‍🔥💯

I love this short 2 Miles round-trip hike. Gorgeous views, a cute Teepee around half way and a gorgeous waterfall at the end. I like to cross the creek by the rocks for a better view at the lovely waterfall. I love this place, cleaner bathrooms, picnic tables, you can even bring your bike or horses.

Great after work hike. Waterfall was beautiful. Wondering the water quality as a sewer pipe is next to the creek. Thankfully I didn’t go in.

This is a wonderful small to medium waterfall. There are a few trails in the area and you can pick and choose the route to get to the falls. All of the trails are very easy and manageable for all fitness levels. Going down to the falls can get a little steep so just be aware of that. There are picnic tables around the trail, I counted a total of 5 so this would be a great place to bring the family and have a picnic. It is very relaxing and shaded at the falls and along the river/stream. Unfortunately there is no swimming - and plenty of signs posted saying this, as the water is runoff water.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

There are signs posted that say no swimming, but doesn't mean you can't! During certain times of the year, its deep enough to climb the rock and jump in from the top!

What are the hours of this place? I’ve never been

Amelia Grant | Aug 19, 2021
Mayur Patel | Aug 19, 2021

The hours are sunrise to sunset, you wouldn't want to do the hike in the dark anyway. They water is off limits because there are small rocks in there that are hazardous, also the water is runoff from yards and I think it is toxics because of all the concentration of fertilizers. You can tell because the water is very green and there is a lot of algae growing in it. Fertilizer use really needs to decrease in general.

Randy Mainer | Aug 19, 2021
L Gruber | Aug 19, 2021

Others have posted that it is run off /gray water... whether it's from that location or not, good chance there's all kinds of interesting things in that water (hence the no swimming signs).

You can camp close by at a Campground about 1/3 of mile. You will have to get permission and permit.

From the 101: Take Lynn road to Avenida de Los Arboles. turn left on Arboles. Go to the end and make a u-turn and turn immediately into the parking. If that lot is full, continue down the gravel road to the second parking lot. Both lots have good signage to paradise falls.

Erica T. | Aug 19, 2020
Martha Reyes-Callejas | Aug 19, 2020

Hi there. As far as I know, the trails are only open during the week. Please avoid parking on the residential area. I believe this was part of what led to the trails being closed during weekends. Please remember to follow the social distancing guidelines and wear a mask, if not at all times, at least when fellow hikers are near you on the trails. Most importantly, enjoy your trek!

donny lynette britt | Aug 20, 2019

No it is posted in the website buried under stupid stuff call registration and permits. Makes more sense to post under general Information so it's easy to find but I guess California does this to make money off people who have common sense that would not look under that type of heading. Well at least I didnt get a ticket.

Gizmo51 | Aug 20, 2018

Just like other state parks this one has hours. However there are camp grounds for staying overnight. Frankly it is never recommended to hike at night as if anything happens chances of finding you are slim until morning.
