Powder Canyon

Directions & Trail Map

There are five main entrances to the reserve. Three are along Fullerton Road from the end of East Road to Harbor Blvd. in La Habra Heights. At each entrance there are large green signs reading HABITAT AUTHORITY WILDERNESS RESERVE. They are along the north side of the road and parking is very limited. These trails will take you through coastal sage scrub and toyon/sumac chaparral (especially the one nearest Harbor) and through excellent walnut and oak woodlands in several canyons. There are many trails to follow and many areas to explore! Going north will lead to a ridgeline with a great oak woodland on a loop trail to the left can be found. If you go straight you will end up in the following location. Another gate is located in Schabarum Park near the horse stables at the end of the developed part of the park. This will meet the previous trails if you go straight up to the ridgeline. Going left at a side trail will switchback up a canyon where a single scrub oak tree grows (one of maybe three known to grow here)! The fifth entrance is found by turning onto Leucandia Drive from Hacienda Blvd. A sign states that the dirt road (actually a part of Skyline Trail) to the left is an equestrian trail along the Edison right-of-way, which eventually leads to Powder Canyon. This is a long hike but has a beautiful collection of wildflowers in the spring along the winding trail.
