Briefly about the general area:
Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Sespe Creek; why not camp at Ortegea Campground since you're here at Ortega
Trail. So much fun stuff in the Sierra Madre, just tremendous. Why not pop by nearby Matilija Creek while you're here at Ortega Trail; close by you stumble on Wadleigh Arm.
Middle Matilija Campground is a great local campground, and Bellyache Springs is a nice local attraction.
And that's not all the things you can do here in the Sierra Madre. You must absolutely dedicate some time to Deserpa Flat while you're here at Ortega Trail; do put some time aside to spend at Hot Spring since you're here at Ortega Trail.
Just can't get enough of Ortega Trail.
Rattlesnake Canyon is a magnificent site to explore, and if you have the time, Channel Islands National Park is a national park worth going to. It's a brilliant idea to pop by North Fork Matilija Creek, it's next to Ortega Trail, and while you're here at Ortega Trail it's a good idea to pop by Berry Flat.
