Trails

[1] Arroyo Conejo Trail

Description This trail has two major components, a single track trail that winds around the Rancho Conejo Playfields, and a fireroad that descends to the bottom of the canyon and leads to the waste water treatment plant.

The single track starts at the parking area for the Rancho Conejo Playfields. There are some unofficial side trails that lead to overlooks of sorts. The trail becomes considerably steeper when it joins the fireroad, until the bottom of the canyon, where the stream crosses the fireroad a number of times; depending on the amount of water in the stream and if there are any stepping stones (and if you want to get your feet wet), you may not be able to get across the stream. The fireroad leads to a constructed wetland area at the north-west end, where a small spur crosses the stream for a final time to join the Baxter Fireroad. Again, you may not be able to get across the stream without getting your feet wet.

Where the fireroad first comes to the bottom of the canyon, the Calle Yucca Trail forks off and climbs up to the Lynnmere Trail.
