Topanga Canyon Firebreak Spring

This trail is found near Eagle Rock in Topanga State Park. It follows a well-traveled path that was used by recreational hikers and others before them. The exact location is east of Eagle Rock along the Eagle Springs Fire Rd. Satellite images reveal that there is a side path leading to the location of the spring. This was the water source for native peoples living in this region. You might find a marker to indicate it is a historic site.

It is believed to be one the most pure water sources in Santa Monica Mountains. This is a public property, but it is currently fenced off because of a'snail invasion!

It was once a Tongva India-owned site. Now, it's surrounded with a high school. LA is still trying to plug it up, but the Tongva Indians are preventing that. It is crazy, since during an earthquake, this may be the only water that the entire city has for weeks.
This is University Highschool. Nearby the Kuruvungna Springs Cultural Center, and Museum, is a natural swimming pool. This pool hosts crawfish as well as other signs of healthy water. At the end of the field is the spring source. The public can visit the site every Saturday. www.gabrielinosprings.com
