Hike #3 Oak Canyon Falls


52 Hike Challenge 2016 Adventure Series

4 miles | +300'




Oak Canyon, a sycamore and oak-lined ravine tucked into a scenic corner of Mission Trails Regional Park just west of Santee, hides a small but beautiful seasonal waterfall. In fact, the whole canyon comes alive with a thin stream of babbling water after some decent rains. After making your way along the banks of the trickling creek, passing small cascades and rock-bound pools, you'll eventually see State Route 52 passing high above the canyon. Here water flows along a rocky creek into a mini-chasm of water-polished rock, with a deep, narrow pool.
