Egyptian goose
Jeremy S.

During an afternoon, I visited Laguna Lake again to take pictures of the aquatic birds. The weather was pleasant and sunny. I saw mallards, geese, and a great egret. There are trails to access different parts of the lake. Many people circle around the lake or fish recreationally. Signs around the lake continue to prohibit feeding the wildlife. I'm happy with the pictures I took, but I can still improve. The experience was decompressing with sounds of flowing creek water and birds chirping all around the air.

One of my favorite places to jog. Weekend gets busy, best to there early in the am. Different Trails to try.

Our second time here. Plenty of ducks and geese to look at. Perfect for a good short walk. There are other trails to do a bit longer walk and bike riding. Clean park. We saw bathrooms but didn't use them so I can't say if they were clean or not. You can bring your dog too. We liked this park very much!

Peaceful park- well maintained and great for everyone...including dogs! Parking is easy and accessible. Entrance to the park is great for picnics and they offer bbqs!!

It wasn't as pretty as I thought it'd be. A lot more dirt and bikes than expected. I was constantly on the look out to avoid being run over. There were also many people fishing. We walked by a dead turtle with blood over its mouth. It probably got hooked up by the people fishing nearby and was tossed to the side....Seeing that just saddened me and ruined my day. The only nice things about this place are that parking was smooth and it's pretty clean. There's barely even duck poop around.

Located in Fullerton. I didn't even realize that there was a hidden gem within this city. We were really surprised how pristine the park is. It's dog friendly and they allow fishing you have to follow the rules in fishing posted within the park area. There are a lot of ducks and turtles around the pond. We walked the whole route around casually and have enjoyed every minute of it. Next time you are in the City of Fullerton why not swing by.

This is an amazing park & we had no issues bringing our puppy for a walk. Everything is super clean & we even saw people riding horses.

Plenty of benches and tables around the loop

1st time visiting this park after continuously researching new parks to explore. Super love this park! Located in a residential area of fullerton with older large homes and equestrians setting. Free parking lots (slightly on smaller end) but there is always street parking. Parking lots located at either top or bottom of the loop pending which way coming from. No entrance fees! Kid friendly Stroller friendly Walkers Joggers Dog friendly Quite accessible for many folks looking to move around Dog bags are not provided so please prepare accordingly Well kept, various signs to learn about the habitat There is not a barrier from the lake so watch little ones who may want to explore a little to close Walking with my dog with in-between sniffs potty moments and etc, we finish under 30 mins. It was quite serene clean and for the amount of potential bird poo hardly was any seen. Plenty of trash cans, tables, and benches spread throughout. I would like to say there are 2 diff. Bathroom facilities available. Got here around 645am. Felt safe was there were a few cars and already a handful walking the paths. I would suggest bringing small cloth or something to wipe paws as my Kiddo tracked back a bit and he appreciate the wipe I think haha Definitely a place to return and explore the other pathways! Great find hidden gem indeed!

A nice place to walk. I've never seen it too busy, not too empty. Some folks like to fish. There's always some shade as well. The path around the lake is about .75 mile.

Ask the Community - Laguna Lake Park

How long is one lap around the lake?

I took a brisk walk and timed myself for one lap. Everyone has different walking speeds, and I even stopped to take photos. My time was 14 minutes and 30 seconds. The loop is about 3/4 of a mile.

Does it get busy with lots of fishing? Like to crowded?

it's a pretty big lake and i have never seen it get crowded

Is there a dog park here?

It's dog-friendly, but no designated area for dogs to run around off-leash.

Any playground available?

No. Hermosa Park (nearby) has one though.

Can dogs swim here?

Unfortunately no.

Where can I obtain a fishing license?

Walmart

What time does the lake open to fish?

Are there trails that are paved in this park so I can come with my baby in her stroller?

The track is dirt. Bit bumpy for a stroller. Hermosa Park (on the other side of Harbor) is a park suitable for strolling plus it's next to Hermosa Elementary

Can dogs go into the water?

Technically, no swimming. Common sense also mandates you wouldn't want any organic life swimming in the water upon closer observation.

Is there shelters available for birthday parties ? new to town so I'm not familiar with any parks .suggestions will be greatly appreciated, thanks !

No shelters. This marsh isn't ideal for picnics, etc. Consider Craig Regional Park in Brea, Ralph B Park in Fullerton, Vista del Valle Park in La Habra, City Hall Park in… 

Where exactly are the train tracks?

The tracks dip below the cliff line. you can't access it from the lake. You can walk down from Hermosa Dr or Las Palmas.… 

None of the signs around the lake state whether or not a fishing license is required? Please explain why or why not you believe a license is required and where to get one if you've ever fished here?

Generally, fishing license is required whenever the California Dept of Fish & Game stocks the lake/resevoirs. You can acquire or get info on how to get a CA fishing permit at www.wildlife.ca.gov/Licensing/Fishing. Best is annual/no restrictions

Do you need a fishing license for this site?

Yes , you are required to have a fishing license !

What time does it close?

They lock the gates at sunset.

Do you have to pay to get in?

No. Free street parking and small parking lots around.

What are the rules for fishing at this lake? Is it catch and release for certain fish or all fish? If not, how many fish can be taken home? Thank you.

Its catch and release mainly but if you do choose to keep any the limit is 2. This applies to any of the fish.

What a wonderful little getaway at CSU Fullerton! This was my first visit and wanted to check it…read moreout before school is back in session. Parking is in front near the entrance, weekdays it's $4 /hr but free on the weekends. Admission is just a $5 suggested donation to support the arboretum. I arrived within the first half hour after opening to try and beat the heat. Even though it was still warm, there were plenty of shaded areas to stay cool along with benches that were great for relaxing. There was also a breeze so that helped. Thought about spending an hour there but glad I paid for two hours of parking because I ended up staying for 1 & 1/2 hours. One of my favorite moments were simply sitting on a bench listening to all the birds. Hopefully you can hear them on the video. This is a peaceful place to unwind and definitely encourage you to visit.

Is the arboretum beautiful & peaceful? WOULDN'T KNOW - they wouldn't let me in without paying $125…read moreFOR A PHOTOGRAPHY PERMIT just because I had my camera? #ABSURD #ripoff May I add - it's free to enter.... Thank goodness these college kids are fighting tooth & nail to keep us dangerous photographers out of there. Imagine if we took pictures & posted them, inspiring more people to visit & potentially make donations. THAT WOULD BE AWFUL! Do better Fullerton, it's not that serious
