Love it! It's a lot of climbing over rocks but it's great exercise. The best part of everything is…read morereaching the falls and eating a good sandwich. I do notice that many people leave their trash behind in this particular trail. PLEASE TAKE YOUR TRASH! You'll definitely get a good nap after getting home.

First time visiting Black Star Canyon Wilderness Park to check out the "falls" and it was just as…read moreexpected. By doing a little bit of research, we learned it was best to go early - my husband and I got there at 7:45am in October on a Saturday and the lot was already starting to fill up. When we left at 11:30, the lot was very full. There is technically plenty of parking but the busier it is, the farther you would have to go just to get to the trailhead. We had a very good weather for hiking. It was overcast for the first hour or so, and there is shade when hiking along the creek, and it was partly cloudy on our way out. If hiking during the afternoon, I would recommend bringing twice as much water as you think you would need. Overall, the trail was long but not too difficult. The first 3 miles are fairly easy/moderate and only the very end being somewhat difficult because it is steep. We think the total hike was about 7-8 miles round-trip and took 3.5-4 hours at a moderate pace. In October 2025, the falls and creek were dried out after a hot summer and only one storm in months. It made crossing the creek a non-event (only a little mud and puddles in a few areas), but it also meant the waterfalls were non-existent. The trail was still very scenic and a fun hike. The end of the trail is still very beautiful when dry. Note, there are lots of mountain bikers so be alert and stay to the right side of the trail. No bathrooms, trash cans, or water fountains but still very clean; thanks to the regular hikers who help to clean up the trails. Please be kind to others and respectful to nature. Pack it on, pack it out.

I love this lake! It's really a hidden gem in Orange County because I have lived in Orange County…read moremy whole life and I did not know this existed until I moved to the city. We love to come here as a family, and do family walks, my son loves to ride his scooter around and I also like just taking a walk around with friends and getting our exercise and catching up with each other! The environment is very clean, beautiful scenery of the water and the trees and flowers, and occasionally we'll do some of the exercise exercises along the way ha ha. I always try to park next to the beach club even though the parking is a little limited there because it's just easier to get in and out. When I park in the shopping center where Starbucks in Ralph's is, it gets a little harder to park and hard to cross the street, especially with a little one. So I recommend parking by the beach club side and then walking from there. And of course, during the holidays, it is all decorated with a Christmas tree and lights and it's very pretty. This is our go to place that we go at least once a week!

Talk about a serenity walk. We love walking around the lake in the evenings at sunset. The scenery…read moreis just that incredible. In the summer months, the bats come out of the nearby woods and caves to feed on the bugs by the lights. This special place, will help you to just....unload the days worries.
