Summary: The first part of the trail follows Moonridge trail looking down upon Indian Creek. Trail then drops down steeply into an area if volcanic rock with a spectacular 70 foot waterfall plunging into a large pool. The return leg of the loop is an easy meandering trail along the banks of Indian creek, with a number of lovely picnic spots along the way. I promise that you will be surprised that there is such a nice setting amongst the suburban sprawl. Trailhead: From the Moorpark Freeway (23), exit on Avenida de Los Arboles and go west (a right turn if you are coming from Moorpark). Follow de Los Arboles until it ends at Big Sky Drive. Make a U-turn and the park entrance is on the right side of the road.

Reviewed by Schuyler on 12/31/2012 Great hike! Just as advertised. Amazing that this is so close to civilization. 
Reviewed by Maggie on 9/22/2012 1st time there today with my 10 year old son & husband, great hike, spectacular views, it doesn't feel like your in TO, ot feels more like Colorado!!! We enjoyed it & will return soon!
Reviewed by Vinny on 8/2/2012 Great hike no matter what path you take. Just remember that you have to go back up what you went down! I typically will hike to lizard rock, go down to the canyon, hit the falls, keep going along the river and then up to the teepee and back to the parking lot. Great work out. The falls are gorgeous, especially after the rains when it is flowing. Nice place to kick back and relax in the shade. Short trail, can definitely get half a day out of it, though!
Reviewed by Samantha on 4/27/2012 Wildwood is a great place for everyone. Beautiful falls, little streams along the trails. If you want more of a workout hike up Lizard Trail, it will work your butt LOL. Enjoy this little piece of paradise in the middle of town...you would never know it was here.
Reviewed by Nathan on 1/3/2012 Hiked with a friend about a week ago. Not particularly strenuous. Lots of families and relatively crowded near the falls. The falls are nice, even without much rain this year, but there are so many side trails to explore you can find areas where there aren't many people. I would recommend checking out the Indian Cave as well
Reviewed by RLM on 11/5/2011 This is a nice hike. It has a nice waterfall and there are a couple different trails you can take to get to the waterfall. I prefer the trail that follows the creek because it is shaded and nice to be walking by the water.
Reviewed by Ky on 8/31/2011 Love this hike, good for a relaxing stroll! And the reason your NOT allowed to swim in the water I believe is because it is basically run off water from all over. It's dirty and you can get VERY sick! LOL. Still a great hike!
Reviewed by Aida V on 5/15/2011 Wonderful rolling hills. Plentiful hiking trails. Awesome falls. I really enjoyed this place to the max. Notice: Traveling in the backcountry can be hazardous.
