Malibu Creek State Park

California

About

Malibu Creek State Park covers 8,143 acres in California's Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area, about 4 miles from Pepperdine University. The state park and recreation agency manages it, and three campgrounds sit inside its boundaries. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. At the Woodland Hills Pierce College station, about 11 miles away, typical average highs run in the mid-70s in March and November, while summer highs climb into the mid-90s and most rain falls from December through March. The park is a hub for climbing, hiking and paddling. Malibu Creek State Park Bouldering and Ghetto Wall lie less than half a mile away. Lost Cabin Trail and Lookout Trail are within about half a mile, and Malibu Creek itself is under a mile off for canoeing.
