Laguna Mountain Recreation Area, Public recreation area in San Benito County, United States.
The 4,462-foot Laguna Mountain features dense chaparral, oak forests, grassy meadows, and waterfalls along Laguna Creek through the mountain gorge.
The land around Laguna Mountain Recreation Area remained submerged under lakes during the Pleistocene epoch approximately 200,000 years before becoming a protected space.
The Bureau of Land Management maintains this recreation area, providing opportunities for hiking, camping, hunting, and target shooting within regulated guidelines.
Visitors access the area via Highway 25 south from Hollister to Coalinga Road, where three trailheads and two free campgrounds offer basic facilities without water supply.
The geological composition includes serpentinite deposits, while Laguna Creek creates a series of waterfalls that flow through Miller Canyon beneath oak-forested slopes.
