About Malibu Creek State Park

The park covers a large stretch of the Santa Monica Mountains, with rocky canyons, gorges, and meadows divided by Malibu Creek. Visitors can hike, fish, watch birds, mountain bike, climb, and ride horses. Its open landscape served as a backdrop for many well-known movies and television shows, and the grounds also hold traces of Indigenous village sites and historic homes from the early twentieth century.
