From the reviews

This simple trail is just beautiful with few inclines, most of it can be pretty simple. You can escalate your workout by traveling closer to the water over the small rocks. But it is a wonderful experience a little over 2 miles round trip.

I had an amazing experience visiting the Malibu Creek Rock Pool! It's a hidden gem in the Santa Monica Mountains, perfect for anyone looking to escape the city and connect with nature. The hike to the rock pool is scenic and relaxing, about 2.

★★★★★ — Asif, Aug 2025

Amazing spot not to hard to hike to and a perfect half way point en route to the M.A.S.H. Site. A beautiful hike with almost unlimited option of trails that all break off the main trail. Definitely make sure you have water or a water filter . The hike is beginner level unless you break off to the smaller trails.

★★★★★ — Jason, Jun 2018

Malibu Creek is Beautiful especially after a good rain. After the rain the river is flowing and the waterfalls are gorgeous. The hike to rock pool is probably about a mile and a 1/2 or so. It is a beautiful hike! People swim at the rock pool, but I wouldn't recommend it if the water isn't flowing.
