This is a beautiful area with very diverse environments that include the bottom of the dry Ventura River, an oak forest, ridgeline chaparral, a great view of the Ojai Valley and Lake Casitas, meadows and an old orange grove.
This area is seasonably accessible because you get to it by crossing the Ventura River, something you don't want to attempt in the winter months when it contains rushing water. Also, this being Ojai, it can get very hot in the summer so late spring and fall are the best times to visit. source: venturacountytrails.org/
