Fishing
Who says you can't go back to the "good ol' days?" Grab your pole and re-create the opening scene from "The Andy Griffith Show" with your children. Two of the largest bass ever caught (18 and 22 pounds) were taken from Castaic Lake, which is right here in our valley. Pyramid Lake, Lake Piru, and Lake Elizabeth are an easy day trip. Bouquet Canyon Creek is located right up Bouquet Canyon Road in the Angeles National Forest, and it provides the quintessential "up north" stream fishing experience. To fish at the base of massive pine trees, head to The Frazier Park area for Quail Lake, Cuddy Creek Pond, and mountain streams. So. California Camping has a great page on freshwater fishing locations in So. Cal.

Camping
Family camping is available at Castaic Lake, Hungry Valley, Saddleback Butte, Angeles National Forest and Los Padres National Forest. Organized group camping is also available at Wm. S. Hart Park.
Moonlight Hiking
The Placerita Nature Center offers moonlit hikes once a month.
