Just a 16 minute drive and your back to the gold rush days and nature. Some of our favorite easy walking and hiking trails are lovely any time of year but spectacular in the spring and early summer. Baby strollers and horses can go on most of the trails. Bring a picnic or snacks and water bottles as there are no concessions. The nature center is small but filled with interactive exhibits of indigenous wildlife along with a few live animals in rehabilitation. We enjoy seeing hawks and vultures up close. The docents present at least one live animal on Saturdays, a delight for adults and kids, up close, lively and informative. Sometimes you get to hold or pet the animals. There is no charge for entrance, parking or shows. There is a gift shop.

Yep! It's ALL good! probably our favourite pizza anywhere except maybe Civitavecchia, Italy. Really great subs too, top quality meats on fresh baked sub rolls. Served with great big fries and ranch dressing. You can also order Big Mouth delivery to Agua Dulce winery for a perfect picnic!

You'll probably recognize it in several movies. The food is homestyle and never disappoints us. It's a destination spot for breakfast or lunch and a must stop for those who know about it. I love the eggs florentine and my husband loves the biscuits and gravy. It's the real deal with an old style fountain counter and table seating.

We've enjoyed the one in Santa Clarita long before we moved to Agua Dulce. Greg and I like to share the appetizer platter. great chips and salsa and I'm a fan of their chile relleno, not too doughy, big Chile and the batter and sauce are perfect.

Recreation

There are so many ways to have fun, and just a short drive to all!
This is the best and safest place for free sledding and only about an hour drive. There are gentle slopes, good for kids, and restrooms. No concessions, so bring food and water. There is a free parking lot, but in case you end up parking on the road, you'll need a one day Adventure Pass to display on your vehicle. They're sold at local convenience stores, but often run out. Ask me about finding one. there

About a half hour away. We love the water park best, but it's all fun for the whole family. I don't like roller coasters, but there's much more than that, so we once went for our anniversary and had a blast. Went up the tower for a thrilling and romantic view.

Wine Tasting

Our wineries are just minutes away.
Just a 7 minute drive This is our favorite for families or a couples outing. You only need to bring a light jacket or sweater. You can bring a picnic if you like, or take advantage of the gourmet offerings in the gift shop and wine tasting room. It's all there for a full day from charcuterie, cheeses, crackers, jams and more. There are plenty of covered tables, a gazebo, and even games like horseshoes, corn hole, bocce ball. Great family outing with a farm out back and more picnic tables alongside tidy pens of goats, llamas, rabbits, chickens, peacock, ducks, cows.
