The hike down is beautiful with wide desert views. Just remember: going back up is a workout. Bring plenty of water and be ready for sun. The hot springs themselves are awesome--several warm pools and the cold creek right next to them. It can get busy, but still really relaxing. Overall, a great adventure spot if you're up for a tougher hike. Would definitely go again.

When we got down to where the creek was, we found the heart shaped rock and some waterfalls. Being that it's July, the falls were light, but still rapidly moving and the water was clear. Very unfortunate that somebody had to go spray painting the area, which is so sad because it's such a beautiful little spot. We took the dirt trail to the right going back to our parking area and it was a nice beautiful hike. Take some water with you so you can stay hydrated during the summer.

The waterfall was high , great to take pictures and can get to the waterfalls area. There were people doing rock climbing too. Great adventure.

This path takes you to lower campus of VVC in one direction towards Bear Valley Road and you will be facing the new Aldi shopping center at the end of the trail. On the Victorville side expect to see more shaded areas due to the homes of SVL right next to the path. It is paved and divided path that bikes and pedestrians to enjoy. There are no restrooms or anything on this path. At the end of the path there are bike pumps/tools/air if you need it. This is where most people park entering through Fish Hatchery Road and parking unloading their bikes or beginning there walk/run. Parking is limited in this area, but if it gets busy people park in the dirt. Also note there are poop bags if you bring your furry one. Be sure to grab a couple before you start your run/walk. Nobody wants to see a pile of poop or step on it. Pick up after your pet. What most people don't know is this path continues in Apple Valley however you must go east on Bear Valley over the bridge then cross the street to the Jess Ranch shopping center. The path again begins towards the Cinemark side of the shopping center. This path takes you again along the Mojave Riverbed behind the Jess Ranch planned community. On the AV side there are benches ever so often if you need to take a breather. It would be great if they could connect it somehow with some pedestrian bridge or something over Bear Valley, but who knows if that will ever happen lol. As others have mentioned if you head back along the path towards Apple Valley and Yucca Loma bridge the path splits and one takes you under the bridge into Mojave Narrows. It is great ride into Mojave Narrows in a brisk morning. I wouldn't do a walk alone at sunset or night as Mojave Narrows and the path itself is very heavy with vegetation and who knows who is lurking in there. While biking at night I see mom's pushing their stroller on there self phone not aware of their surroundings and always makes me a little anxious thinking someone could harm them, so I always keep an eye out when I'm on the path The path ends in Mojave Narrows and makes a u-turn and leads you back in the other direction. It the morning you see lots of fisherman and families out by the water. Couple things to note: The path is long, if you bring your kids, bike, etc be prepared with water and be prepared to carry your young kid if they say they are tired. lol. Don't go biking, walking or whatever alone where you could put yourself in danger. If you go during the day or when weather is warm there are a lot of tiny bugs. They will get in your face, mouth, etc if you are biking. Where some sunglasses and a mouth covering or you will get a mouthful of them in your face. It is extremely hot in the summer during the day. So again bring water and dress for the weather.

There is a fee per day/per car ($15 as of this writing), so plan accordingly. While I didn't camp, I did see some stunning campsites right next to the water and in beautiful condition. Lots of great hiking spots, lots of folks fishing and overall a wonderful atmosphere. There's even a Frisbee golf course. Very clean and well-maintained. Parking is included in the entrance fee.

The staff was nice at the entrance and a worker asked us if we needed anything thrown away so clearly they care about keeping the park clean of trash. With that being said, it was still a decent amount of trash in the grassy areas but there were a lot of people there celebrating parties etc. my main gripe would be the lack of cleanliness of the restrooms. But once again, we came on a holiday weekend and there were a lot of people out.

They recently added a parking lot, which made it so much more convenient for parking and to find the start of the trail! I'm so glad they did this. I'd still say the earlier arrival, the better, so you can get a parking spot. For the trail itself, it's a good workout - there are both uphills & downhills. Once you get to the top, there are beautiful views of the lake.

I had a great time hiking with my senior father in law, and my family. The water was refreshing. The parking looks great this spring. This water flows into Hunington Beach, the sea, the Santa Ana River Wash. It was 52 degrees on group our walk through the creek and Cross the wash. Our walk was cut short by other hikers falling in the creek. Big falls trail will lead you along the river bed to cross the creek to a path of a waterfall overlook. The ice cold water was coming from the area of the mountainside has snow melting as we warm up this Spring season. The creek felt refreshing this morning, I dampened my On Running shoes with waterproof silicone in the waters by crossing the creek on a fallen branch. I refreshed my sun beaten hair with the ice melt waters. I like this trailhead. For years Water from San Bernardino mountains has collected in way of steel pipes that flow by gravity on the steep mountainside above a creek pumped in tunnels to Water Companies piped downhill to be bottled and sold as Arowhead Spring Mountain Water.

Stayed at an Airbnb close by and my kids wanted to explore the outdoors. Found this trail and it was prefect for what we were looking for. My 8 year olds enjoyed the view from the top, saw squirrels and birds, and only got tired towards the end. There is a dirt path and signs posted making it easy to follow. There were lots of trees providing shade and a cool feel. There were a few areas (stumps/down trees/rocks) to sit and rest at and some inclines, but nothing too strenuous or steep. It was very quiet and peaceful, and it felt like we were the only ones out there. Although we ran into 3 couples during our hike, we had the trail pretty much to ourselves. There is limited parking, but we were able to park along the curb and didn't have an issue. Worth checking out if you're in the area.
