Haskell Canyon

In June, 2011, the City of Santa Clarita's Open Space Preservation District purchased 526 acres of open space in Haskell Canyon. This property contains an abundance of coastal sage scrub, oak woodlands and many threatened and endangered habitat and species, The land has steep hillsides and low valleys and contains a natural stream that runs through it. It borders the Angeles National Forest to the north.

Residents of the community will be able to hike, bike and ride horses through this beautiful area that was recently slated for the development of over 500 homes. Haskell Canyon was once a cattle ranch settled by John Haskell in the late 1800's. Later the land was owned by the Agajanian family where they owned and operated a hog farm(source: www.scvhistory.com).
