Eaton Canyon, Natural canyon in San Gabriel Mountains, California
The canyon extends through 190 acres of protected land, featuring diverse trails, native plants, and a 50-foot waterfall along Eaton Creek.
Judge Benjamin S. Eaton, who resided at Fair Oaks Ranch House in 1865, gave his name to this canyon near Eaton Creek.
The Tongva people maintained a village named Puntitavjatngna near the canyon, with 500 to 1,500 dwellings supported by the freshwater supply.
The Eaton Canyon Nature Center provides parking facilities, educational exhibits about local wildlife, and marks the starting point for numerous hiking trails.
In 2022, a one-acre property overlooking the canyon returned to Tongva ownership, marking their first land possession in Los Angeles County since the 1800s.
