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.

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. Always check the website https://parks.sbcounty.gov/park/mojave-narrows-regional-park/ for current regulations and fees. Enjoy!

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.

Clean, beautifully maintained. There's a fire pit by each camp site, and except for the ones for…read morebig groups, lots of space for privacy. The hike back from the hot springs is no joke, especially on a hot day if it gets to 80s. It is nonstop uphill for about 1.5 to 2 hours depending on your speed. Still gorgeous.

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.

However, you can still enjoy a moderate hike with family and less able folks. There really is no specific route when approaching this gem. Pick a direction and go for it, it's natures jungle gym. For the lighter hike you will want to park at the base near the BMX track. To the right of the water tower there is a beaten trail which is, if you choose, the hardest part of the hike. After you peak you have the option of adventuring through large boulders with small caverns or sticking off to the left for a more flat surface. I started my 3 little boys on this hike a couple years ago when they were 3 and 4. So that should give you an idea of the capability. Additionally, this is where I take my adult friends to put their money where their mouth is and push their limits. Great place! BBQ pits and small playground here too.

We got a tandem kayak and it was so convenient to just be able to walk over to Boulder Bay Park and start kayaking. The woman who helped us rent them at the front desk also kindly reminded us to bring sunscreen and water, and even refilled my water bottle for me. Thanks a ton for a great time! It was my first time kayaking and it was a very pleasant beginner-friendly experience.
