It seems like there is some confusion about which location this yelp page is for. The address listed in the one on Entrada Rd in Topanga, which is the one I am reviewing. Anyhow, if you approach eagle rock from Trippet Ranch parking area in Topanga it's a nice (actually very challenging) uphill route to Eagle Rock. Absolutely worth taking a break at the top, you can walk out on the giant rocks for a great view. Some reviews call the uphill part moderate/ not too bad. I guess I am more out of shape than those people, it can be rough! Best part is the way back is all downhill! read more

When coming here make sure you do research prior and find the actual location. Where ever the direction took me, was not accurate. Saw this sign so thought it was correct. I walked down to the dead end found a very skinny narrow trail. Thinking this was it I started walking however after 20 min of seeing different paths all leading to different "No trespassing" signs I started getting over it. I didn't see one single person here and Again the trail was so narrow at one point it felt like it was falling apart beneath me. I even got lost at one point. I definitely didn't go the correct way. Someone before Mentioned this yelp page was a mess and I one hundred percent agree. I read several Yelps trying to see any information on if I was in the right spot or not and I knew I wasn't but I couldn't find where the right place was. Do your research first people. Clearly I went to the wrong place. read more

THIS TRAIL IS IN THE CITY OF EAGLE ROCK!! =================================== Nice little trail to the famous rock that looks like an Eagle. This trail is not in the valley so don't post reviews for that other trail here. See Paolo H's review where he calls this Yelp page a hot mess. It definitely is a hot mess that will never be corrected. I feel bad because I sent him a note about the fact that if we see a mistake we should try to correct it. I implied he did not try to correct it when he probably did. I did apologize after the fact. Flagging the other reviews to be removed doesn't work. I tried, so don't waste your time. The crap is here to stay. Here is Yelp's response. Hello, Thanks for reporting 's review of Eagle Rock Canyon Trail. We wanted to let you know that this review had already been reported to us by a user on Yelp, and that at that time our moderators decided to leave the review in place after carefully evaluating it against our Content Guidelines.

This Yelp page is a hot mess. It's a combination of both Eagle Rock Trail, located in Topanga State Park, and Eagle Rock Canyon Trail, located in Eagle Rock, a neighborhood northeast of LA. The two locations couldn't be any more different. One is really cool with great hiking trails and the other is the site I'm reviewing. This trail is an easy 1-mile loop. The trailhead is located at the end of Eagle Rock View Dr. The trail seems like it was created by gnomes. Much of it is a narrow steep ledge that travels up the side of a mountain. The canyon trail is not very canyoney. It mostly climbs up the side of a mountain that happens to be located within a canyon. The end of the trail leads to some plastic chairs at the top. The coolest part is really the massive historic sandstone rock with the shadow image of eagle bursting out the top. The trail comes a distant second to this cool geologic feature and is the real reason to visit. read more

Not sure if the picture I took is the actual Eagle Rock but I did not go on the trail or hike it. Just wanted to see "the rock" as it's part of the local Route 66 historic Road. read more

Short & fun .8 mile loop trail. Review is for eagle rock canyon trail (at fig & 134), not the eagle rock trail in topanga- which can be confusing if looking at pictures on other reviews here... Once you park on eagle rock view dr (dead end) or on Figueroa (turns into scholl canyon), just north of the 134, there is a little entrance, which I missed walking by the first time. Once inside the entrance at the break in the wooden fence, you hit a fork on trail. This is the loop point. Either route will take you back to this point. We could not get on top of the "eagle rock historic landmark" because a neighbor there told me the land owner had fenced it off. Super easy hike if you are looking for something quick. read more

This hike is easy and we'll marked for those who are afraid to hike alone, or are unexperienced. Although this hike is short, don't underestimate the inclines it has. It gave me a sweat! By the end of it, you get an amazing view. Props to whoever left a notebook up at the rock. There's a notebook (there's been a record of 3 already) that all hikers sign while they're up there. You can read lines of poetry, letters, and dates in the notebook. It's hidden under and in the Eagle rock. Keep an eye out for it! read more

Had to check this out, this trail is really short! Although it gets really steep so if you haven't hiked in a while this can make you sweat a little lol. Went there around 9-ish in the morning, I think the view of the city would be much nicer during Sunset. We did not see the chairs so not sure if we were able to reached the top but when we get to the "top" me and my friend were like, "oh is this it?" The top I am referring to is the part where it seemed like you can't go any further because it was already fenced, anyway, I hope these pictures will help to give you an idea how this looks like! PS. I also took a screenshot of the direction how to get here :) read more

Ok, so, I don't know about this trail. I parked at the bottom of eagle rock view drive. It is a dead end street. The trail starts at that end. I did not know this because the sign was blocked by the large tree. I eventually saw the sign and entered the trail. I walked a whole 5 steps until I saw a tent and thought, "hmm...people camp here? that's weird, but okay..." then I saw a whole row of tents and then decided not to trespass on people's homes and went back to my car. I was confused...and I didn't know if the other yelp reviewers entered elsewhere. But that was my experience! read more

Trippet Ranch is located at 20825 Entrada Road, Topanga CA 90290. (Where Eagle Rock Canyon should begin) Eagle Rock in Topanga State Park is a popular destination for hikers, trail runners and mountain bikers. This hike is approximately 2.2 miles (one way) to get to the very top of the rock. In fact, there are two fault lines running through the park: the Topanga and the Santa Ynez faults. Start early so you could avoid paying parking fee and a lot of people on the trail. Be careful on the trails.. There is mountain bikes that come down the trail really fast. Brings water there isn't any water stations or restroom. On a clear day you may see the ocean view and the west side of the San Fernando valley. Great trail for beginners!! read more

Think of this as a steep stroll. This loop is only about a mile in length, but a great hike for little kids. At the top you get to sit on a bench, eat the snacks you brought with you and enjoy the sunset. Exposed for 3/4 of the route, it's not too long to over heat but I'd still recommend sunblock esp in the summer. For all you movie buffs out there. On the way down you'll see the Eagle Rock substation that was used for Erewhon Prison in the movie Face/Off. Parking: you can park on Figueroa, but I prefer to park at the bottom of Eagle Rock View drive and walk down. read more

Eagle Rock Canyon Trail - We could actually see the ocean this evening! - Hiking Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I started this hike from the top of Reseda up to the Hub then to Eagle Rock Trail. It is under 3.5 mile fairly easy hike up the fire road to get here. It's a loop so once you get to the bottom, you can make a quick left to get back to the Hub down to the parking lot. If you still have the energy to hike more, you can go straight to Trippet Ranch trail, all the way to Parker Mesa. Why 4 stars? it's because it's my favorite route to mountain bike on my way to Parker Mesa. The hike will give you a glimpse of the ocean, mountain ranges and rock formations. This trail is where i broke my knee and busted my chin (requiring 7 stitches) from a bad mtb fall on my way to Parker Mesa so it's a bit of an unforgetable trail for me... read more

This is a nice, easy to moderate level hike that's less than a mile. The trail can be narrow at times, so be careful. All the flora is wonderful and you do get some nice views of the city, but not from the top of the rock itself, unfortunately. This link gives step-by-step instructions on how to get there: http://eaglerock.patch.com/groups/peter-chois-blog/p/bp--patch-blog-how-to-hike-up-the-eagle-rock-canyon-trail Glad we hiked this trail and look forward to the next time! read more

Short but sweet. As others have said, it's only about 1 mile round trip but it is pretty steep and when you get to the top you get a nice view of the city and it's a perfect for sunsets as the peak faces west. There's even community chairs up there and a hobo-ish couch waiting for you. The first time I went there I couldn't find the the trail. If you're on the dead-end road next to the big Eagle Rock look for a small sign under a tree at the end of the road. read more

I had hiked Eagle Rock Canyon by myself around the end of May of 2018. The trail looked as if it wasn't maintained and narrow, only could fit one person walking at a time. There were plants sticking out on the majority of the trail, along with lots of bees. When I had reached the top of the mountain, after the plastic chairs, there was a fenced gated with a no trespassing sign. I wasn't able to find the wooden bench in the yelp pictures. The trial loops back down if you keep continuing on the trial. If anyone can help me find how to get to the top of the hill/ mountain, that would be great! read more

Tough little hike 4 miles round trip going is all uphill no breaks on that. The trail does not have any shade so make sure you're well cover unless u don't mind that extra burn. Can't get lost follow the driving directions on this site which takes you directly to the parking lot where u pay $10, make sure to take exact change or you can pay with a credit/debit card. Signs to little Rock are everywhere so all you have to do is follow them and you will get there. Enjoy! read more

This is a short loop trail, but pretty much all incline on the way up. There entrance is kind of hidden, but I found it. However, the trail does seem kind of sketchy. I was hiking with just my dog and felt a little uncomfortable. Seems to be some homeless people that camp out along side the bottom maybe? Or just random tents. The view is like some construction and highway half way. It's not like a nice view until you get near the top. The trail also is like very narrow. I had to climb under a giant tree branch to cross part of the pathway. There are a few chairs laid out near the top? But like I wouldn't sit on them haha. I probably wouldn't do this trail again. I honestly just didn't feel safe enough. read more

Nice trail to Eagle Rock, mainly a fire road and a moderate hike. Parking is $10 and nice views. Just under 4 miles to the rock and back.

The trail head is located at the foot of Eagle Rock. Exit Figueroa Avenue from the 134 and you're there. The trail is a respectable loop of about a mile. There's a pretty good elevation gain and great views of Los Angeles and the islands. read more

Nice place to hike, beautiful view specially at the top, there is a small cave at the top.

This trail is quite short, it's a mile loop. The trail is dry and lacks visually interesting features. Its only redeeming quality is its proximity and access to the eagle rock monument. read more

I went on this trail with a friend recently because I thought the pictures looked nice. When we went on the actual trail, a lot of the weeds we're overgrown on the trail. It was not maintained as it was used to compared to pictures. We never made it to the end because of how overgrown the weeds we're. But I did see a garter snake and a possum! That was neat. read more

This 1 mile walk is not worthy to go to. The view is nice but you cannot get to the top to stand next to the eagle rock.

I love this trail! It's a short one, about 1mile round trip, but I like to combine this trail with a nice run down Hill Dr for a great workout. Amazing incline and nice loop. Be cautious at night however, this trail is located near a bridge...beware of trolls. I wish the trails were a little more well kept but I love nature so it doesn't bother me too much to see dead wild animal carcass. Cool! read more

With all the amazing hikes in the area, save your time here. I brought guests from out of town and they were unimpressed with the view after such a steep climb. I had a 4 year old, 7 year old, and 9 year old and the trail was difficult and dangerous for them. On the way down the dirt slides under your feet and they all had to have an adult holding their hand. You aren't too far from Switzer Falls, just drive a little further and you will get a lot more for your time. read more

Short but nice hike. When you get to eagle rock the view is amazing! This hike was during spring so the mountains were so green and you can see the ocean in the distance. I recommend climbing around eagle rock and looking for hidden caves because everyone who gets there just sits at the top and there's less people in the caves. It's very fun but be very careful because the rocks are really rough and you are on the edge of the mountain. read more

this is a good trail. nice n short. a bit narrow in parts, but if you pay attention you'll be fine. nice views. wear boots or shoes with good tread/traction. there were some folding chairs and what not at the top when i hiked it, that was cool. not sure if they are always there or not read more

Looking for a quick and easy trail? You have found it. Best thing is to follow the directions on the map. There's some chairs at the end of the trail. I came in the middle of the day. I can imagine that the view in the evening is way better. There's no trail leading to the eagle rock, it's private property. That was a bit disappointing. Enjoy! read more

I had no idea there was a walking track so close to me, and now that I know - believe me when I say I'll be there frequently and early! With a stunning view of Los Angeles, including Big Bear and some of the OC's mountain ranges - you simply can't beat it. read more

This is not a trail to bother with. It's a short .9 mile loop, and while there's a nice moderate grade up the right trail it's a very brief burst before leveling out at the top. The paths are narrow with cactus intruding over at several points, the immediate vegetation is dead, ugly, and littered with trash, and the eventual "view" at the pinnacle overlooks the 134 freeway and the Scholl Canyon Landfill. Save yourself the 20 minute round-trip and use it to drive to Griffith Park or Altadena for better hiking. read more

pretty ease hike and worth it to get to the top of the huge rock that looks like the Pride Rock from The Lion King haha
