β€œI saw a bird at the lake in Kenneth Hahn State Recreation Area this morning (October 29). A fishing line was tightly wrapped around its right leg, almost cutting it off, and had started to tangle around the other leg too. I told the lady at the front desk of Stoneview Nature Center, and she responded so kindly and quickly. I truly appreciate her warm care and hope the bird can recover soon. The staff at Stoneview Nature Center are always welcoming and gentle. It’s one of my favorite places - full of kindness and peace. πŸ•ŠοΈπŸŒΏβ€

β€œJust discovered this place, although it's been open for 8 years already. Beautiful and quiet nature center with California drought tolerant flora. They have a little quail cage too that houses six adorable female quails they call divas. There's also a labyrinth marked by rocks that fun to walk through.”

β€œThis place is amazing! It is so quiet and tranquil. And you can walk over to Kenneth Hawn State Park via the walking bridge just make sure you get back before the gate closes!”

Overview

Stoneview Nature Center sits on a compact site packed with detail: drought-tolerant California flora, six rescued female quails in a garden enclosure, and a rock labyrinth. The main draw is the trail that crosses a walking bridge into Kenneth Hahn State Park, offering views that include the Hollywood sign. The hike takes around two hours round-trip and involves a moderate incline. Parking is sparse - roughly 20 spaces.
