Azusa Canyon is exceptionally known for the wonderful experience of getting mud all over you. There is a huge sandy mud bed of a river that is fed by the rains and varies in size. There is a reservoir at the end which turns into a real big mud bath.
If you choose to do the Azusa OHV area it is located 9 miles to the north of 210 freeway on Azusa (highway 39). There is a fee to use the trail ($8.00 per day open Sat. Sun.& Holidays) and entry depends on time and season.
There are activities like rock and hill climbing and sand banks for you to indulge in as well. Many 4x4 enthusiasts take to this trail often.
If you find yourself stuck in the mud enjoying yourself and then can’t get yourself out, don’t panic! You will find loads of ready hands to bail you out.
This is a great place to be in if you live close to LA. If you go, you will never regret it an you will get addicted to the sport of off-roading!!!! IT KICKS A$@!!!!!!
