Big Santa Anita Canyon is within the Angeles National Forest and is entirely on Federal land. Forest Service laws and regulations apply.
This is not a city or county park, nor a National park. It is a unique community of cabin owners and hikers enjoying one of the last places of its kind still in existence, a small piece of the 19th Century hidden within our local mountains.
The best way to explore this beautiful canyon is on foot. Over forty miles of trails wind through the area.
Dogs are allowed on the trails, but must be on a leash for their own protection as well as for fellow hikers.
Buy a $5 Adventure Pass at Adam's Pack Station. (If general parking is full, you can park at Adam's for $10.)
