A SMMNRA Event
Lights! Camera! Action! Paramount Ranch’s convenient location and mountainous backdrop have captured the vision of hundreds of filmmakers. Elaborate movie sets have come and gone while the ranch’s massive oak trees have remained as silent witnesses.
Join a ranger-led walk around the ranch to learn about how it has changed over the past century and what the future may hold for this popular filming location.
Meet at the trailhead kiosk next to the bridge. Wear sturdy shoes for uneven terrain. We recommend bringing water, a hat, and sun protection, as there is little shade on the walk. Restrooms available. Heavy rain cancels. For any questions, including directions, please call the visitor center at (805) 370-2301.
