I like coming here but they closed the parking lot and there's no where you can park thats close by. Most of the surrounding neighborhoods have signs that say permit only. It's very frustrating but there's only like 4 street parking spots and you have to be really patient and get lucky. The trail is pretty steep at some point. Very little shade. Take plenty of water.

Definitely an uphill trail 💪 bring water! Very pretty and not too crowded. Street parking.

So many trails and entrances to really take in the beauty.

Found this trial when I was looking for an easy hike while on my lunch break. This place is pretty cool and even managed to spy a couple deer just wandering on the trail. The parking is fairly easy (there’s a lot). Definitely recommend for an easy midday/late morning stroll.

Dogs are not allowed on some trails. Check the website for details. Www.HabitatAuthority.org Dogs are allowed at Hellman Park. also DO NOT HIKE WITH DOGS WHEN THE WEATHER IS WARM OR HOT! Dogs do not sweat like humans and many have been in severe distress or die each year on the trails.

The city keeps the main entrance on Greenleaf locked at all times. The only entrance open is on Turnbull Canyon just as you go up. Be aware though..it gets EXTREMELY packed and you will look for parking longer than you will actually hike.

When is the trail opened? Why is it closed?

Can you start the hike earlier then when it opens or do they have it closed ??

Melissa R | Aug 30, 2018
Scott P | Aug 30, 2018

If you want to hike before hellman park open's go to turnbull canyon road, but you have to park about 3 blocks away in the resident's , there is no gate there , and i think it connects to hellman park trail but its pretty far.

If you start at Hellman Park and hike to the white or green water tank, it's about 4 miles, round trip. If you hike to both tanks, it's about 6 miles, round trip.

Does this trail have any deadly animals (such as rattlesnakes, scorpions, spiders, etc. for instance) and plants?

Diego Bustamante | Aug 30, 2018
Doomsday Celebration | Aug 30, 2018

Yes, there are rattlesnakes up there. They are not just out early in the morning. If it's hot, you can see them anytime of the day. Also you can encounter poison oak. I've seen areas that are full of it. There are coyotes and moutain lions that inhabit these canyons, so be careful, always be aware, and don't take a blue tooth speaker. You might not be able to hear the rattling or suspicious noises.
