GPS Data:

Directions to the Trailhead:  From the West Valley, go north on Topanga Canyon Blvd., go under the 118 freeway and take a right turn onto Poema Place.  From elsewhere, go west on the 118 freeway and exit on Topanga Canyon Blvd. in Chatsworth. At the end of the off-ramp, take a sharp right turn onto Poema Place.

Immediately past the first stop sign, there is a landscaped park area on your right. This is where we will have our post-hike refreshments. Park on either sides of the road. Alternately, drive another hundred yards to a cross-walk. Park on either side of the street.  The trailhead is a horsetrail on the north side of the street, next to the cross-walk.

There are no picnic tables in the refreshment area so please bring chairs. There are no restrooms at the trailhead.

The Hike:  Go along the horsetrail up a slight rise. Take the left fork and travel along the east and north side of the condo complex.  The trail will bend to the right and then to the left in a generally northerly direction. The trail is generally shaded with a slight elevation rise. In about 2.5 miles one comes to a dam. Follow the trail for as far as you want to go. Prior OTP hikers have gone as far as 5 miles before turning around for a 10 mile RT.
