Laguna Canyon, Canyon in Orange County, California, US
Laguna Canyon stretches for 8 miles through the San Joaquin Hills, reaching widths of up to one mile between Irvine and Laguna Beach.
The Tongva people created seasonal paths through the canyon to access water sources before Spanish explorers arrived in the mid-eighteenth century.
The establishment of Laguna Coast Wilderness Park in 1993 resulted from community protests against proposed housing developments in the canyon area.
California State Route 133 runs through the entire length of the canyon, connecting Laguna Beach to Irvine, while Route 73 crosses from east to west.
Barbara's Lake within the canyon stands as Orange County's only natural lake, formed by groundwater rising along a geological fault line.
