Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve Details

A visit to this park from February to May will undoubtedly reward you with one of the most stunning views in all of California. Here, you'll find hundreds of acres of blooming poppy fields, all of which are naturally grown using grazing sheep and cattle (management is prohibited from watering or fertilizing the flowers). Besides poppies, owl's clover, lupine, goldfields, and coreopsis also can be found growing around the park. During your visit, you can walk the 7 miles of trails that lead you through the flower fields. Some trails are also paved and accessible to children or those with limited mobility. While on your walk, see if you can spot any of the natural wildlife that lives here, including mice, gophers, lizards, or snakes.
