Limestone / Whiting Ranch Parks
A ranger and hiker go up a steep trail in front of red cliffs.
Limestone Canyon and Whiting Ranch Wilderness Park encompasses approximately 4,300 acres of riparian and oak woodland canyons, rolling grassland hills and steep slopes of coastal sage scrub and chaparral. The park is highlighted by scenic rock formations, including the beautiful Red Rock Canyon. There are three intermittent streams: Borrego, Serrano and Aliso Creek meandering through the park, each hosting an abundance of wildlife. Remnants of the former cattle ranching days can be seen throughout the park.

Though 90% of the park burned in the Santiago Fire of 2007, the land is in the recovery process. Please respect that process by staying on marked trails and following park rules.

Whiting Ranch is open 7 a.m. to sunset, year round. Please click the link at the bottom of this page for a map of authorized trails in Whiting Ranch.

Limestone Canyon is available for guided access only. We invite you to visit www.irlandmarks.org and select from the many free activities offered. In addition to passive recreational programs, there are opportunities to participate in scientific research, stewardship and other volunteer activities.
