Thousand Oaks Travel Guide

Aerial view of scenic Lake Sherwood and Thousand Oaks in Ventura County, California.

"Paradise Falls drops 40 feet into a large pool along the Arroyo Conejo in Thousand Oaks. The waterfall is located within Wildwood Park, and thanks to an almost excessive network of trails, Paradise Falls may be reached via several routes, including a 2.15-mile out and back hike or a 2.55-mile loop that visits a small cave. It is a downhill hike from the trailhead to Paradise Falls with 260 feet of elevation change. Adding a visit to Wildwood Park’s other main attraction, Lizard Rock, is a good way to extend the hike to 4.35 miles or more."
