Nesteled in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, Bailey Canyon Wilderness Park is a popular gateway to the Angeles Forest and its hiking trails, picnic areas, and beautiful vistas that stretch all the way to the Pacific Ocean. High above the noise of the 210 Freeway, this park is a welcoming escape from the sprawling urban landscape of the Greater Los Angeles area. At Bailey Canyon Park, visitors will find thorough, easy to use trail maps and guides to local wildlife permanently posted for anyone interested in learning about the diverse selection of native flora and fuana. Additionally, Bailey Canyon Park has a fire ring, public restrooms, picnic areas and barbeque grills. The small park is the trailhead for two major hiking trails that tour the Sierra Madre Wilderness Area above, including the Live Oak Nature Trail and the Canyon View Nature Trail. Much of the park is handicap accessable, including the free parking lot. The park facilities are able to be reserved for use by private parties and community groups, though the proper contact must be made through the Sierra Madre Community Services Office, located in Sierra Vista Park. Groups in need of more information or who are ready to make their reservations should contact the department via email or by the phone. Reservation fees will apply in most cases and all applications must be reviewed by city staff before they can be approved.
