Lytle Creek, Census-designated place in San Bernardino County, California.
Lytle Creek is a small residential community nestled in the San Gabriel Mountains in San Bernardino County, California, spanning approximately 10 square kilometers. The area features scattered homes set near flowing streams and rocky terrain typical of foothill settlements.
The settlement was founded in 1851 by Mormon pioneers who named the flowing stream after Captain Andrew Lytle, one of their leaders. This early establishment set the foundation for residential growth in this mountain valley.
The Canyon newspaper, published by the Community Center since 1948, connects residents through voluntary contributions and regional stories.
The San Bernardino County Fire Department and Fontana Sheriff Station provide emergency services to the population of around 700 residents. The area is accessible by local roads and offers walking trails leading to natural attractions.
The valley contains several walking trails leading to Bonita Falls, where water cascades down through the mountainous landscape. This hidden waterfall is a favorite destination for local hikers and those exploring the area's quieter spaces.
