    Challenging but beautiful! Take the trail along the water, the mountain side one is dangerous.read more

    I love this place. Whenever I go to gramma's to do housework for her, I either go here or…read moreIdyllwild. I especially love this place on windy and rainy days. The high trail gets pretty sketchy and makes for a good time. For anyone wanting to know where this place gets its name, here goes. The local native tribes had a battle that ended here. One tribe made it to the waterfall and couldn't go anywhere. The other tribe held the high ground and slaughtered them. Google it. Anyway, parking sucks. There are a couple places off the side of the road to park. Other than that, you'll have to take your vehicle down a small hill and park in a dirt lot. Said dirt lot is a place where people like to run OHV's, and their trucks. There are some elevation changes and jumps. This used to be a loop until someone removed the rope from the highest section of the waterfall. The one at the lower half is still there. When the ropes were there, it was about a 5 mile loop.the trail doesn't end at the decent from the ridge to the waterfall. You can take the trail back another 12+ miles. It opens up to some Wild West looking shit, and then a bunch of huge boulders. The high trail is the fun part. It's pretty sketchy without high winds or rain. I prefer to come here with wind, and or rain, for a better time. The width of the high trail is about a foot, to 18 inches. At some spots, it may be unclear If you're not very experienced. At other spots there is no trail, so you'll have to stretch your legs pretty far, or make a short hop. There are plenty of rocks to get a foothold or handhold on, but be careful; some of it fragments quite easily. People also go shooting here, but usually well past the loop, and they don't aim at the trails. This place is not monitored by park rangers, so if you need anything, you'll need to call San Jacinto Sheriffs. Since it's not regulated, you can camp without permits. Have fun, be safe, watch for snakes, weird locals, keep an eye out for falling rocks, and yell down below if you happen to dislodge some rocks from the high trail. This is a good local playground; enjoy it and keep it clean.

    One of the best things about Little Lake is Ernie, the guy who greets you at the pay station and…read moreoccasionally drives around the pond to check if you need any assistance. He's the introduction to the wonderful day you will have at this beautiful pond. Ernie is not bossy or intrusive. He only wants you to have a good time, be safe and enjoy your day. If you ASK him, he'll show you where the baby ducks and water fowl babies are. He clearly treasures them and seeing them can only enhance your visit. I loved my fishing visit to Little Lake. It is so peaceful, so beautiful, so relaxing there. I live in the Pasadena area which is a 4-5 hr.drive round trip. But it's definitely worth the effort. I'm an 84 yr.old fisherwomen and I loved every moment of my 8 hr. fishing experience here. I caught bass and bluegill.Can't get better than that. At one point I was fishing in an area that was not safe for me: too slippery a shoreline, high gravel banks.... Ernie came over and said, "Mama, this is not a good place for you. Let me help you out of there and move your stuff to a safer area." He was right and he did that for me. Thanks,Ernie. I love the easy, friendly conversations between fishing "people," in general, they are never are competitive: "What bait are you using? How deep are you fishing?" This camaraderie was alive and well at Little Lake. This pond is not for anglers who only care about the best and the biggest fish. This oasis is for those of us who just want to experience the best of nature and the best of human interactions.

    Paid $25 to fish here. Was told at the gate that they stocked it Tuesday and the fishing was…read more"great." 6-7 hours later with zero catches, the same staff member told me as I was leaving for the day "I told you it was slow today." BOYYYYY HUHHHH??? Completely inconsistent and a total waste of money. Avoid this place unless you like paying for gaslighting
