This half mile stretch of Topanga Canyon Boulevard lies within the westernmost corner of Topanga State Park. After a wetter than average winter there will be a series of swimming holes along this part of the creek, with small waterfalls splashing over the sandstone boulders. If there's been a lot of rain, there'll be a good flow of water well into summer.
This particular spot is called Twin Poles because of the prominent double telephone poles at each end of of this bend in the road. You can't miss it.
