Aguanga Attractions and Activities

You can find museums Temecula Valley Museum and San Jacinto Valley Museum near Aguanga.

Cleveland National Forest: Located in southern California, the Cleveland National Forest boasts 460,000 acres of area for people to explore. Inside are a number of trails, historic sites, target shooting areas, camping sites, fishing, ATVing areas, hunting and much more. Boasting a range of terrains, people will find many plant and animal species that aren't found in other areas of California.

Some of the nearby attractions are:

Maidenhair Falls: After a wet winter, Maidenhair Falls seems like a miracle in the desert. Hellhole Canyon is home to myriad desert foliage, including a surprising array of ferns and mosses at Maidenhair Falls. Plentiful maidenhair ferns give the waterfall its name. Wildlife is prolific, too, including bighorn sheep, jackrabbits, Costa's hummingbirds, roadrunners, and ladder-back woodpeckers. Some mild scrambling and boulder-hopping is required to reach the waterfall. Because of the abundance of desert foliage, long pants and long sleeves are more than a good idea.

San Diego Wild Animal Park: Part of the San Diego Zoo facility.

Cactus Loop Trail: The Cactus Loop Trail shows off seven species of cacti, including barrel, hedgehog, fishhook, beavertail, and cholla. Visitors often spot chuckwallas and other lizards scurrying among the spiny plants. This trail is surprisingly steep for an interpretive trail, but it takes only about 30 minutes to walk the entire route. The Cactus Loop Trail is adjacent to the Yaqui Well Trail, and since both trails are short, you should walk both. Yaqui Well Trail ascends for a mile among various desert plants to a mesquite grove, then continues to the seep at Yaqui Well. A wide variety of greenery grows around this wet spot, especially false desert willow. Hummingbirds are often seen flitting about.
