Marvin Braude Mulholland Gateway Park

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Marvin Braude Mulholland Gateway Park is a 1,500 acre park in the Santa Monica Mountains with its trailhead at the southern terminus of Reseda Boulevard in Tarzana, Los Angeles, California. The park was named for former Los Angeles City Councilman Marvin Braude who for more than 30 years led the effort to preserve the Santa Monica Mountains. Braude Park connects with 11,000 acre Topanga State Park and the 20,000 acre “Big Wild” to create a large expanse of undeveloped wild land offering hiking, mountain biking and equestrian trails. Braude Park is also the unofficial trail head for the Lemming Trail, a 10-mile one-way tramp over the mountains from the valley to the sea. Lemming Trail offers a grand tour of the Santa Monica Mountains, from Tarzana to Topanga to Temescal to the Pacific.

The entrance to the park is located 3.2 miles south of the Ventura Freeway on Reseda Boulevard.
