With a mix of graded roads and trails there are opportunities for hikers, mountain bikers and equestrians. The East Ridge View Trail provides a panoramic view of Peters Canyon and the surrounding area. Visitors can enjoy the beauty of Upper Peters Canyon reservoir while traversing the Lake View Trail. Peters Canyon Creek Nature Trail guides hikers through lush groves of rare black willows and cottonwoods supported by a running creek. The park is located near Tustin and Irvine, CA, in Orange County.

The land was part of a Spanish land grant, Rancho Lomas de Santiago. In 1897, the rancho was purchased by James Irvine, who leased out the canyon to several farmers, including James Peters, who farmed in the upper part of the canyon. To support Irvine Ranch's water needs the upper reservoir was completed in 1931 and the lower one in 1940. Both were used to regulate the Irvine Company's water supply draft from Santiago Reservoir, known today as Irvine Lake.
