Eaton Canyon Park

EMPOWERING LIVES, BUILDING FUTURES

Eaton Canyon Park is a 190-acre natural oasis.

Its key highlights include a popular hiking trail leading to a picturesque 40-foot waterfall, an educational Nature Center, and a diverse array of native plants and wildlife.

Tucked into the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, Eaton Canyon Park blends rugged canyon trails with community-friendly recreation. Following wildfire damage earlier in 2025, the park has not just rebounded—but thrived—with new trail stabilizations, picnic upgrades, and interpretive signage highlighting native plants and wildlife.
