Situated in the Santa Clarita Valley in Los Angeles County is the Castaic Lake Recreation Area with big access to some of the best recreational areas in the state. Framed by the Los Padres National Forest and Angeles National Forest, Castaic has spectacular landscapes. The lake covers over 9,000 acres where outdoor athletes and adventurers alike can hike, run, trek, bike and paddle until their hearts are content- or reach maximum heart rate - which ever comes first. Lush and green in the spring, sporting a beautiful bounty of wildflowers, adventuring through this gorgeous Southern California playground will be a treat. Nearby Vasquez Rocks, Lake Piru, Pyramid Lake, Hungry Valley State Recreation Area and the San Bernardino Mountains provide plenty of outdoor fun. Six Flags Magic Mountain, Santa Monica, Malibu and Ventura are close by.
