Just 25 miles from downtown Los Angeles, the park features hiking, fishing, bird watching and horseback riding opportunities. 

There are 15 miles of streamside trail through oak and sycamore woodlands on chaparral covered slopes.

Twenty-five mile Malibu Creek in the park is the principal watercourse of the Santa Monica Mountains, from Boney Mountain to Malibu Lagoon. 

The park was the center of Chumash Native American life for centuries and was once used to film numerous movies and TV shows, such as Planet of the Apes and M*A*S*H.
