点评:I lived in Los Angeles in the 90's and visit often because I have a daughter who lives in Hollywood, and I never knew this gem was here until I searched for running paths on my last visit! I was looking for a relatively flat trail since I'm from Houston, which is very flat. I drove up here, and the parking area is only about 12 minutes from Hollywood Blvd. and La Brea, where I was coming from. It feels a world away from the city below! The reservoir is a beautiful blue lake with wildlife you will easily see, including donkey deer, rabbits, and water birds. The Hollywood sign is just above the park and loop, and you will see it easily and unobstructed from parts of the path.
The loop around the reservoir is 3.3 miles, so the whole thing should be doable for those looking to run a 5k or continuing training for one, as I was. It's also a walking trail that probably takes an hour to an hour and a half to complete, depending upon your walking pace. Of course, you can also visit and only walk as far as you like, turning around to retrace your steps when you want to be halfway done.
Using GPS, put in Lake Hollywood Reservoir to get to the parking area for the trail. I used the 6381 Weidlake Dr address to a free parking area and trail entrance, although I saw there are supposed to be other entrances on Lake Hollywood Drive and Wonder View Drive.
The experience is really wonderful with incredible views of the city below, the water and wildlife, and the Hollywood sign, not to mention the pretty drive up through the Hollywood Hills to get there. I highly recommend it if you're looking for that sort of thing to change up your trip to Los Angeles and the Hollywood area, especially.
翻译:我 90 年代住在洛杉矶,经常来这里,因为我有一个女儿住在好莱坞,直到上次来这里寻找跑步路径时,我才知道这里有一颗宝石!我正在寻找一条相对平坦的小径,因为我来自休斯顿,那里非常平坦。我开车到这里,停车场距离好莱坞大道和拉布雷亚只有 12 分钟的路程,我就是来自那里。感觉离下面的城市很远!水库是一个美丽的蓝色湖泊,您可以轻松看到野生动物,包括驴鹿、兔子和水鸟。好莱坞标志就在公园和环路的正上方,您可以从部分路径轻松无阻地看到它。
水库周围的环路长 3.3 英里,所以对于那些想要跑 5 公里或继续训练的人来说,整个过程应该是可行的,就像我一样。这也是一条步行道,可能需要一小时到一个半小时才能完成,具体取决于您的步行速度。当然,您也可以参观并只走自己喜欢的距离,当您想走到一半时,可以转身返回。
使用 GPS,输入好莱坞湖水库,到达步道的停车区。我使用 6381 Weidlake Dr 地址到达免费停车区和步道入口,尽管我看到好莱坞湖大道和 Wonder View Drive 上应该还有其他入口。
体验真的很棒,可以欣赏到下方城市的壮丽景色、水和野生动物以及好莱坞标志,更不用说穿过好莱坞山到达那里的美景了。如果您正在寻找这种东西来改变您前往洛杉矶和好莱坞地区的旅行,我强烈推荐它。
