Many trails and many different levels of hiking. I did Mt. Lukens via Dusmore Canyon a 9.8 miles hike. The terrain is flat with loose rocks and mostly uphill, considered a hard hike. Not extremely crowded. Amazing views of the city.

Mt. Lukens is my go-to for a solid 10 mile hike. I prefer going up the Cresenta View trail even though its more difficult than Rim of the Valley. CV is slightly shorter and you have views 100% of the way up once you get to the mountain ascent portion. Theres also a nice windbreak at around mile 3 to sit and enjoy a snack/lunch or just catch your breath. I used to do the loop coming down ROTV, but lately Ive been doing only the Cresenta View as an out & back. Definitely a great workout and the views are pretty sweet not to mention youll run into very few, if any, people towards the top. The peacefulness is great therapy for me. The only reason I took off a star is for the radio tower farm at the top.... Kindve kills the out in nature vibe

A wonderful natural area with multiple trails for different abilities and length of time preferences. The landscape is gorgeous and views dramatic. Even when there are multiple cars in the parking lots the trails dont feel crowded.

Great trail. Excellent view. I will learn to mountain bike to the summit. A lot of people seem to use this trail as their go to trail. It is challenging, but very attainable also if you can spare 5-6 hrs.

Beautiful views and parks... gotta drive over ️

Beautiful place to visit. Great walking trails. Very pretty to walk along the river and pass by the pond. Kids will love the play ground.

Very rocky. Be prepared. Don’t recommend minimalist shoes unless you’ve been training for at least 6 months with them. Left is the loop. Right goes to the summit. Nice little stream at the beginning of the hike to the summit. Well maintained little area.

Best hiking in the greater LA area and gateway to the tallest peak in LA County

A little too busy some times but a nice place for a picnic or quick hike

This park leading into the Angeles National Forest is great for a picnic or light walk. It leads into some great trails that go up into the mountains, and the feel is fresh, especially in the mornings. If you were looking for a peaceful place to enjoy a special region, this can be it. Have swell times here~.

Very nice fall colors spotted in the shrubs along the trails ️

I visited here during covid in July 2020, its a nice place to stop. Friendly old ladies, decent parking. I read it had nice sunsets... I mean.. it did.

This was a great place! Different levels of hiking. Kept as wild as possible, which I really appreciated.

Very nice park with a bit of history in it. Although I enjoyed my visit, I did notice some RVs and a junker car in a dirt lot connected to the parks entrance and it seemed a bit vagrancy like. Couple of rag tags approached me asking for a cigarette and I assumed they were the ones living in the RV or Junker car. Over all, nice visit, nice park and beautiful spread. Couple of trail heads to hike up the mountain and check out if youre interested in that.Enjoy!

Nice walk with excellent views. So many busy bees and lizards! Really nice occasional big trees. Lots of loop trails. All fun!

The park is really nice but I saw a rattlesnakes right where my kids where playing

Nice place for a hike. Not too crowded, but very hot in summertime.

When my gf told me about hikes in the City, I was imagining walking up big streets that have staircases for sidewalks. Not this place.

Good workout.start early too avoid the sun. We went counter clockwise.

The trail head is very well maintained with nice bathrooms and a lot of shade. The trail up the mount lukens was uncovered and had a lot of loose rocks. Bring lots of sunscreen and water and start early to avoid the sun.

A variety of trails and with gorgeous weather today, it was perfect.

Multiple trails & offshoots moderately sloping into the mountains. Not a lot of shade, as with many trails around the area, so not an ideal summer midday trail.

Love this place been coming since 2001!!!

Beautiful place to hike and get some fresh air!

Nice and quiet. Just hikes, lovely grassy areas, restrooms.

This park has absolutely the most top-notch signage. From yoga poses to trail markers, this place has more to look at than just nature.But hey, the nature is pretty darn great too.Absolutely wonderful hike the last time I was here, coming up the slope through fog and drizzle.Is there any chance youre going to expand the park until its much much closer to my front door? Thatd be swell.

A friend and I visited spontaneously on a rare misty Saturday. Absolutely gorgeous (as was my friend). It felt like Scotland with the fog rolling down the mountain, and now I understand why theres a street called Dunsmore nearby. A great, hilly walk, lots of flora and fauna to see, and a real selling point for Glendale.

A great hike, and picnic area

Great hidden nature park with awesome trails

Born and raised going here, been living in la Crescenta my entire life, so beautiful. Been the same they keep it well kept. I appreciate deff good hike. Fun for everyone

My husband and I went on a short walk on the left trail, and we loved it!

Nice hiking area...

Great loop trails with moderate gradients to MtLukens. No shade though.

This beautiful trail for running

Great trail to take the family to. It’s too bad that it’s closed down for COVID-19. My kids miss the trails and nature.

Plenty of parking. Nice breeze. These trails have no shade but the park is great for a picnic or reading or just relaxing.

Love hiking here. Mummy and vineyard trails are our favorite.

High altitude with a view, picnic under a tree shade, elevations at about 2315 ft (705 m).

Beautiful views, nice trails, and Mummy Rock!

Very good service

Nice day for a hike with my Riley️

Easy hike, more of a walk. Not too busy like some of the other local hikes. I love doing portraits here right before it closes at dusk.

Lovely hike 30 minutes from DTLA

Amazing spectrum of Native California plants, yerba santa, live oak, sage and chia. Grass areas and covered tables. Restrooms and a local historic building. Definitely my favorite local trail!!!

I Love This Hidden Gem of a Park great place To Be Amazing Place To Love, Bring the Whole Family and The Love Of Your Life You will Be In Awe!!!

Great trails, lots of sun and a tiny bit of water! Great for a quick hike

Great hikes!

Beautiful, amazing place! I dont remember how much it costs to get in, but the gates close around 6pm, and there are signs saying that you are subject to fines if you get locked in.

One of my favorite places to trail run with my Coach Turk

Great views, Clean bathrooms and múltiple tables for picnicking make this a definite must visit.

Not only is Dukemejian Park a historic landmark, on a clear day there is an awesome view of Los Angeles County.

There are numerous trails, wonderful views, parking is free, good toilets, a great access point to the San Gabriel mountains.

This park is beautiful and well maintained, mostly from the efforts of a small group of citizen volunteers and city park workers along with the company, Take a Hike. They offer various interpretive nature walks with experts such as herpetologists and geologists. There are campfire programs, and more. On site is a giant historical barn, and vineyard. Trails stretch up and into the Verdugo Mountains, offering spectacular views of the city below. Valleys and streams in winter and spring support wildlife. Keep you eyes open for mule deer.

Gorgeous hiking and well-maintained trails.

Well maintained trails. Easy trails for kids, tough trails for serious hikes.

Very nice and relaxing.

The parking is limited and there is one picnic area on the lower area. We did go for kite flying and its apt for it. There are lot of trials for hiking.

Amazing gem, not crowded.

Great for a easy stroll or a very challenging hike with a scenic view

Beautiful scenery and a great day for a walk!

Its near home with good parking but no shade.

Fantastic place for a hike, a peaceful get away or a family outing.

Great place for a fun afternoon hike.

Peaceful, quiet with a wonderful, magnificent view of the Crescenta Valley and beyond to the L.A. skyline. Totally awesome!

Good hikes. Could use a little love on the trails.

Nice picnic small area

Great Hike on a nice afternoon.

I dont really go out into nature often. Im afraid of everything. This park though has such pretty views. It is my husbands favorite park to hike in these days. I went a couple of days after a rain and there were bubbling brooks and water sounds which were lovely. There are so many peaceful spots to discover and the mummy rock trail is a good one for people who arent nature people. I didnt find it scary at all.

Recommend this park. Lots of trails.

Great view on a clear day. We take the dogs and have lunch on the well maintained benches. There is a nice patch of grass which is nice to lay a blanket down to stretch out for a nice nap. There are bathrooms available, and lovely flora to admire along the pathways.

Has restrictions for pandemic

That park was a slammin park. I felt the edge of parking in timber wilderness.

An Official Hiking Review:Fantastic place for novice and experienced hikers alike. Much variety in destinations and beautiful scenery. We rate this area medium hiking difficulty.

So much fun hiking the trials

Its amazing! You feel like your a 100 miles from the city but its only minutes away (if there isnt too much traffic.)

Deukmejian is a great park this easy to get to from the 210 in the Tujunga / La Crescenta area. There are a couple short hikes near the park entrance that you can easily chain together into a nice hour long hike (e.g. start with the Vineyard trail, head up the main canyon trail to LMessanger and finish with one branch of the natural trail. Also a couple options for much longer hikes. Nice views looking down towards CA -2. Bring a hat during the day since there isnt much shade or wait until early evening when youll get some nice shadows.

Beautiful place to enjoy some quiet time or even have a small get together. I picnic here on occasion and also hike. The view is amazing.

I have explored all over the foothills above La Crescenta since the late 1970s and was stoked to see this area turned into a park for all to enjoy. Many moderate to challenging and well marked trails to choose from and the views are amazing. So, get on up here and explore this place. You wont be dissappointed!

What a spectacular spot for its convenience! The mummy rock is my main suggestion.

Nice open biew.

Beautiful trails and far less busy than Griffith Park. Worth the visit.

It is very serene kind of a place. Tuck in the back of a Debri Basin.

Clean, very isolated. Love it!

Nice refreshing walk, great picnic areas. Quiet relaxing park.

Great place to hike if you are within La Crescenta-Glendale-La Cañada.

This place is a great place to get closer to nature. Multiple hiking trails with signs that help you navigate through the different trails. Small relaxing park with great views with tables for gathering with friends or picnics. The trails have lots of small rocks but its nature so it worth it.

Nice hiking trail

The best hiking area

Beautiful hiking trail and the view !!!

Awsome wish i could hike to mt. lukens

Beautiful. Newly renovated. Quiet

Rocky trails

Its a cool hidden park not all locals know about it. some of them find it by accident I went there last year. very nice not too crowded for the same reason that is far from everything. so bring your lunch or breakfast cool place to chill.

Love this park! Being a California Naturalist I love what this park has to offer! The community is amazing! I hope to see more people out this year!

Very tranquil and peaceful place

Hikes of varying levels and lengths with incredible, beautiful views of the Crescenta Valley and beyond. I hike here alone and with the whole family. Always a great time.Also a great place to bring a picnic - use the lawn or the tables.

Great hiking trails!

A great place , took my dog there a few days ago, she loved it.

Great upkeep and nice trails.

Beautiful views. A good place for either a pleasant walk or a strenuous hike. Be sure to bring a water bottle and sun protection.
