Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

Paradise Falls (also referred to as Wildwood Falls) was a lovely 40ft waterfall in the canyons of Wildwood Park.

It was also the first waterfall that Julie and I visited together, and we had such a positive experience that we wound up seeing others in the greater Los Angeles area!

Years later, we brought our daughter when she was only a year old and even on subsequent visits when she was old enough to hike unassisted.

We’ve also shared this experience with my parents so visiting Paradise Falls was definitely a family-friendly affair.

Sitting in the Thousand Oaks area well west of the Los Angeles basin, this waterfall also tended to reside in an area with a bit of a hot and dry climate.

However, this seemed like one of the rare waterfalls that somehow managed to thrive in this climate.

Paradise Falls November 2, 2018 9:22 am by Eric - I've been going to Paradise Falls since the mid 80's. It's a great waterfall but you definitely don't want to swim in the pool. Beyond it being illegal, and the Rangers do write tickets occasionally (especially if you are climbing the rocks), much of the water is gutter water. Just not something you want to… ...Read More
