Laguna Coast Wilderness Park, Protected wilderness area in San Joaquin Hills, California.
The wilderness park spans 7,000 acres of coastal canyons, featuring oak woodlands, sycamore trees, and natural lakes across Orange County's landscape.
The preservation efforts began in 1960 when bookstore owner James Dilley initiated a campaign to establish a natural greenbelt surrounding Laguna Beach.
The Nix Nature Center presents exhibits about local wildlife, Native American traditions, and educational programs focused on environmental conservation.
Visitors can access 40 miles of trails suitable for hiking and mountain biking, with paths reaching elevations of up to 1,000 feet.
The park contains the only natural lakes in Orange County and provides habitat for 40 endangered species including California gnatcatchers and cactus wrens.
