If you plan to visit, I strongly recommend reading this review carefully. 🌿 Trail Overview Reservoir Loop Trail (main trail) A flat loop around the reservoir, approximately 1.5 miles. Easy, accessible, and suitable for walking, casual jogging, kids, or dogs. Hastings Trail (optional extension) For those looking for slightly more elevation and variety, this trail offers a moderate workout through oak and maple woodland without being overly challenging. Forest atmosphere The shaded paths and filtered sunlight create a calm, scenic environment ideal for photos and relaxed movement. ⚠️ Important Note About Traffic Enforcement (MRCA) At the same time and same location, both my vehicle and my friend’s vehicle were ticketed via photo enforcement. Key concerns: • The location is not a conventional intersection • It appears to be an ordinary roadside area • A STOP sign is placed in an unexpected position • There is no advance warning signage • There are no clear environmental cues indicating drivers should anticipate a full stop From a driver’s perspective, this setup makes it very difficult to anticipate the requirement to stop, even when driving attentively. This experience felt less like proactive safety guidance and more like enforcement without sufficient visual or contextual warning. Final Assessment While the hiking trails themselves are enjoyable, this enforcement experience significantly affected my visit. As a result, I would personally be hesitant to return to Franklin Canyon Park for hiking in the future. 💡 Practical Tips • 📍 Navigation: Search “Franklin Canyon Park” on Google Maps • 🚗 Parking: Limited availability — arriving early is recommended • 🍪 Bring snacks: The reservoir area is suitable for a short break

很棒的徒步之旅，景色优美，还有有趣的野生动物，比如海龟、鸭子和锦鲤等等。轻松惬意，树荫充足。我只希望公园里聚会的其他人能小声点，尊重一下周围的人。这是公共公园，不是你的私人餐厅。
