The varied terrain and elevation in Turnbull Canyon provide opportunities for a unique trail experience and for scenic views of the surrounding landscape. As a result, this area is extremely popular, particularly with cyclists. This area also features many different plant communities and uncommon species, such as Catalina mariposa lily, Plummer’s mariposa lily, and gray fox.
Turnbull Canyon Trail, which connects to the Hellman Park trail network, is primarily accessed off of Turnbull Canyon Road. The trailhead is gated with an informational kiosk. Parking can be found offsite OUTSIDE of city restricted parking areas, which are indicated on this map. Secondarily, the trail network can be accessed via (1) the Elderberry Trail access point which leads to the eastern Turnbull Canyon trail network, or (2) the Los Angeles County-managed Schabarum Trail access point, both of which offer limited parking along the shoulder of Turnbull Canyon Road. A printable map of trails in the area is available by clicking here. Please bring your own water.
