Leash Law is Being Enforced at Placerita Canyon

Please keep your dogs on leash when visiting Placerita Canyon Natural Area. It is very dangerous to have dogs off leash as rattlesnakes are found frequently at Placerita in the summer and a dog/rattlesnake encounter can result in the death of both animals.

 

Placerita Canyon Natural Area now features parking for alternative fuel vehicles

Please take advantage of our alternative fuel vehicle parking. There are three spaces available in front of the nature center and two additional spaces in the lower parking area near the bridge. This is preferred parking for vehicles that operate on fuels other than gasoline, such as compressed natural gas (CNG), hydrogen, biodiesel, and electric or hybrid vehicles.
