Best Natural Waterfalls In Los Angeles Near Me

4worldlovers:
Eaton Canyon Natural Area is a 190-acre zoological, botanical, and geological nature preserve situated at the base of the beautiful San Gabriel Mountains. Visitors can enjoy its hiking trails, equestrian trails with a staging area, picnic areas, seasonal stream, rocks and minerals, various natural habitats, native plants, and wildlife

The Center was reopened in November of 1998. The 7,600 square-foot building contains many fascinating displays, live animals, offices, classrooms, an auditorium, restrooms, and an information desk/gift shop.

Have fun discovering the plants, geology, and some of the animals (we hope!) of the Eaton Canyon nature preserve.


Remember when visiting Eaton Canyon or any other natural area, take your camera or binoculars with you into the canyon, but please LOOK ONLY – touching or even trying to touch the wildlife can stress them and cause illness or death, upsetting the balance of nature.

4worldlovers: Due to the rainstorms, Monrovia Canyon Park is closed indefinitely. There has been significant movement of mud and debris, along with rocks and boulders, in Monrovia Canyon Park, which has caused damage to facilities, roads, parking areas, utility systems and trails.

Additionally, staff has identified a broken water main in Monrovia Canyon Park caused by the debris flow. The water system in Monrovia Canyon Park, including the running water in bathrooms and drinking fountains, has been possibly contaminated. Monrovia Canyon Park has been closed to the public since Thursday, December 9, 2021, and will remain closed indefinitely. Although Monrovia Canyon Park is closed, signs for “Do Not Drink the Water” will be placed within the park until the water main can be repaired.

Canyon Park water is possibly contaminated with mud and debris. Failure to follow this advisory could result in illness.

An unknown substance has been added to the drinking water supplied by the City of Monrovia due to a recent water main break at a water main that supplies water to Canyon Park. The State Water Resources Control Board, Los Angeles County Health Department, and City of Monrovia Water System are advising all individuals to NOT ENTER CANYON PARK AND TO NOT USE THE TAP WATER AT CANYON PARK FOR DRINKING, COOKING, HAND WASHING, OR BATHING UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.

DO NOT ENTER CANYON PARK. Due to rain and associated debris and mud flow forecast within the park, Monrovia Canyon Park will be closed until further notice. The City will reopen the park when the City in conjunction with the Los Angeles County Flood Control/Public Works have assessed the situation and concluded the areas are safe to public access.

DO NOT DRINK YOUR TAP WATER---USE ONLY BOTTLED WATER. Bottled water should be used for all drinking (including baby formula and juice), brushing teeth, washing dishes, making ice, food preparation, and bathing within Canyon Park until further notice.

DO NOT TRY AND TREAT THE WATER YOURSELF. Boiling, freezing, filtering, adding chlorine or other disinfectants, or letting water stand will not make the water safe. We will inform you when tests show that the water within Canyon Park is safe again. We expect to resolve the problem within 6-10 weeks.
