You're gonna have to figure out how to get to the southern entrance via google but it's worth it. They finally updated the parking situation and the drive up is cool. Going for sunset if possible is incredible lighting both on the drive and on the walk. On days when the sun sets late you just need to get in 20 minutes before they shut the gate to have the place to yourselves. Be very nice to the security and expect to wait by a locked gate for him to come by and let you out at the end. Classic spot where if things go south at least you get a photo op.

Amazing place with incredible views ❤️ My favourite place to hike! The trail is paved - convenient for dust-free hiking) You can see animals: hares, varans, deer There's a cool spot on the trail for a photo with a Hollywood sight 📸

Peaceful, easy walk. If not for the Hollywood sign, you could forget you’re in Los Angeles! You will hear wildlife and might even spot some on your visit to the Reservoir. There is a small parking lot on site. Be mindful the drive up to the Reservoir is residential and narrow - go slow and be attentive!

Beautiful and quite walking trail at the Hollywood Reservoir. The road to getting there is a bit tight and curvy but I think it helps deter a lot of people away which helps keep its exclusivity. I truly felt like I was not in LA for a couple moments while walking the 3.5 mile loop. The dead silence and natural beauty really delivers an amazing escape.

Grate views of the Holly wood sign. TIP: keep waking till the fence ends and you reach the bridge. There’s the most spectacular view. A lot of people just turn around because they think is not worth it but it totally is worth it.

Make the best with what you got. The trail around the reservoir makes for a nice walk, jog, run or bike. Cool looks at the Hollywood sign, nature and beautiful homes. Your reward for doing something good for your body.

Great place to view the Hollywood sign, take a walk, ride a bike or take one of the hiking trails. You drive up to the reservoir on very narrow winding residential streets, once you reach the reservoir there is a small parking lot and limited parking on the street.

Great 3.5mile loop of which only a part is on the road. There is a water fountain for bottle top up and it’s a great loop for a flat walk.
