Indian Bayou Trail

Nice out of the way area and as others have mentioned the trail heads could be marked better. Crossed a wooden bridge and ended up on some kind of service road. Went back to the ranger station area and found a little pier over hanging the water. If you follow the entrance road straight ahead a bit and you'll see the sign for Alligator Trailhead. 1/4 mile in it splits into a loop. Full trail is about 1.5 miles. Lots of bugs and mosquitos so be prepared for those. Saw some turtles on their logs. Sign mentions alligators, copperhead and water moccasins in the area but didn't see any of them on my visit.

Very helpful rangers there. Swamp eco system pretty but wet. If it's not cold make sure to bring MOSQUITO PROTECTION

Pretty natural area. Folks at visitor's station were incredibly helpful and friendly. Reason I'm giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the trailheads weren't as clearly marked as we're used to seeing at other LA parks. We tried several trails and they were definitely not wheelchair or stroller accessible. Would recommend for adults hiking (with tall socks!) But otherwise not for anyone with strollers or wheelchairs. Restrooms and trash cans were present, but we did not use restrooms and can't comment on their cleanliness.
