Deer Canyon Park Reserves

Nice walking trail through a valley and up to the reservoir. Can be as long as 10 miles Dog-friendliness: Great dog trail

Some people love it. Some hate it. It all depends upon what you're looking for in a park. If you're looking for a small, natural park nestled in a suburban area that includes bathrooms, a drinking fountain, some benches, and some trails to hike or ride your mountain bike, you'll likely love this place. If you're looking for a well kept, green park where you can play frisbee or take the kids to play, this ain't your place. The landscape is natural and unmaintained. The bathrooms are clean. In fact the whole place is clean and unspoiled. There's a paved road in the middle of it. "Parking" consists of some flat dirt spots and either north or south entrance. The picnic tables have knee-high weeds between them and grilling would present a serious fire hazard. There likely is every manner of benign and dangerous native wildlife in the park, or close by. At the south entrance there's even a sign warning of mountain lions. I really wanted to see one, but alas none showed their feline face. I kept myself occupied mountain biking some of the single-track trails there. On the balance, I liked the place because it is so anachronistic.

Many of the formal trails are overgrown if still existing at all. One of the walkways which is the trail most use now is all paved. Don't follow the google instructions it will take you to a shutdown entrance of Santa Ana Canyon. Pass that to weir canyon, turn right and into the neighborhood to go to the other entrance. There are lot of fun old trails but wear pants, the overgrown plants might cut you upthey did me. I'm not sure where the Santa Ana Canyon entrance is closed but it sure looks like it's been since way before Covid.

Great place for simple bike ride or hike.

The parking was an issue other then that it was okay found a swing

Salt Development wants to build an apartment complex here, 500 apartments and a minimum of 1,000 cars added to Anaheim Hills and Santa Ana Canyon Road. They don't give decent explanation how they will handle the traffic. Anaheim council is screwing Anaheim Hills like they did Anaheim on the Angels deal!!!!!! No thanks!!

Nice peaceful place to hike. Please be respectful and mindful of mother nature. There are coyotes and mountain lions but keep in mind they are home and we are just visitors.

The fact this is walking distance from my house is the best feature. The canyon seems like a world apart from from the city surrounding it. But trails could be a little nicer and there is parts that are paved.

You can have a nice hiking in the middle of pure original nature just few yards behind the houses. You may find squirrels and rabbits. . A couple of time I saw a lazy coyote. ..looking at me in the middle of his path and disappearing in a while

No parking. Google took me to an entrance marked no trespassing! From the other entrance you can do some hiking, but scenery is not that great.
