Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve State Natural Reserve
Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve State Natural Reserve, State natural reserve in Los Angeles County, United States.
The reserve contains extensive fields of California poppies covering rolling hills between 790 and 910 meters above sea level in the Mojave Desert.
The California Department of Parks and Recreation established this protected area in 1976 to preserve the natural habitat of California's official state flower.
California poppies represent a significant symbol of the state's natural heritage, transforming the landscape into orange fields during spring flowering season.
Visitors can explore 11 kilometers of maintained trails through the reserve, with peak flowering periods occurring from late February through early May.
The reserve maintains strict regulations against artificial irrigation or flower collection, ensuring the preservation of natural blooming cycles influenced by winter rainfall.
