We did this hike during our first week in Palm Springs. There is an admission per person to get into the area from the Visitor's Center. We noticed that this hike is quite popular with senior citizens, some of which were having difficultly with parts of the trail. Wear sturdy althletic shoes with a good grip. We also used our hiking poles. The falls is very scenic. You loop back on an adjacent trails so that is kind of nice as well.

The preserve is a pleasant stop on the road to Joshua NWR.Good birding if one knows where to wander.Preserve host has several feeders in a shaded area with chairs !!One can relax and get id’s of birds they see.The Wednesday 8 AM birding tour is excellent , led by experienced birders. This is a MUST DO for serious birders.

Nice trails for the kids and dog with great weather year round. Parking during apple-picking season and when it snows a bit difficult.

If you like fishing for rainbow trout or large-mouth bass, this is your spot. The lake has shrunk considerably in the last decades, but it is still picturesque and fun to fish. The friendly ranger at the south entrance gave us a pamplet showing hiking trails and camping sites, most with hook-ups. The Pacific Crest Trail borders the east end of the park and hikers often pitch their tents in the park, A few one-room cabins are also for rent (showers and restrooms are a short walk away). If you rent a cabin, unfortunately you can’t bring your dog. Because the lake has receded, the shore line is a short hike from the camp area. It was hot when we visited in July, but you may need a jacket in the winter because the camp is over 3,000 feet. Bring your binoculars for bird watching!

This is a BEAUTIFUL park! Our party reserved a picnic area next to a HUGE grassy area where the kids ran and played soccer and football and had a great time. We BBQ'd hamburgers and hot dogs and had plenty of shade from the trees and permanent cabana on the site. The whole park is well landscaped and pleasant to be in! We are going back in a few months for another family picnic because the last one was so fun!

Excellent views. Well worth the trip. Just be careful. It is on a blind curve and people fly around that curve. Also be careful on the road, I had someone tailgate me at 55mph on sharp turns. It’s a curvy tight road.

[View] 10 minutes drive, a short highway, you come to this place, you can picnic in the flowing water of the desert and the amazing scenery of the desert mountains, you can hike on many roads, [Fun] I like the spring here, All desert plants are lush, but it is a nice walk at any time, although it can be very hot in summer (they close here when the fire danger is particularly high), and you can find a lot of wildlife here including big horns, bobcats, rabbits and many birds.

We stopped at Big Morongo Canyon Preserve on our way to Joshua Tree National Park. We didn't have much time so we only walked The Marsh Trail. It was a very relaxing boardwalk trail under a tree canopy and finishing in the open along a border of large palm trees native the California. Best of all, it was free and had restrooms.
