After two rainy winters and a few non-winter storms, dozens of water spots are popping up, sometimes literally, all over Southern California.
The Arroyo Seco flows over Switzer Falls in Angeles National Forest on Wednesday, March 13, 2024. Waterfalls, swimming holes, rivers, lakes, once-in-a-while creeks, part-time reservoirs; the greener stretches of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties have all of these features. Most are more or less visible depending on that year’s rainy season.
Black Star Canyon Falls is flowing on Thursday, March 14, 2024 after recent rains in Trabuco Canyon, CA. The water of Santiago Creek spills over rocks and concrete along the edge of a road as it runs through Irvine Regional Park just after sunrise on Wednesday, March 13, 2024. Rains from recent storms have filled lakes and streams throughout Orange County for the past couple of years.
Even the biggest rainy year of the past century, 2004, wasn’t as productive as what we have now. That’s because rain in ’05 was a bit below average , and the rainy season of ’06 was one of the driest on record, with just 3.5 inches. Water flows in Trabuco Creek on the road to the Holy Jim Falls trailhead in Trabuco Canyon, CA on Thursday, March 14, 2024.
