Happy Camp Canyon Regional Park, in the eastern Ventura County
city of Moorpark, offers visitors 12.5 miles of trails in a
3,000-acre wilderness area frequented by hikers, equestrian riders,
and mountain bikers. The open grasslands and deep forests are
abundant with wildflowers and wildlife including rabbits, bobcats
and golden eagles. Sections are very sandy and dogs are not allowed
into the nature preserve.
