Over 14,100 acres have been protected on the eastern side of the hills as Chino Hills State Park. These lands are managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation. Parking is $5 at the Discovery Center.
The State Park is open:
- October – March: Open Daily between 8 AM – 5 PM
- April – September: Open Daily between 8 AM – 7 PM
The Park is closed during extreme or hazardous weather conditions. All trails are closed 48 hours after the rain. Some areas take longer to dry than others; those areas may be closed for longer periods of time. Use of the trails and roads when they are still wet results in rutting, increased erosion, and damaged roadways needing costly repair. Also, all trails are closed during red flag days (extreme fire hazard days).
Updated trail information is also available by calling 951-780-6222.
