The hike takes about 20 minutes from the parking lot to the giant swimming hole. Cliffs range from 10-60 feet. In spring the pool is about 10 feet deep then shallows out to around 7 feet by the end of summer. Always check for submerged rocks and tree branches. Bring lots of water and pack out all your trash.Hermit Falls Cliff Jumping 6 15 13losangelesswimmin2013-06-22 | Music: The Accident by Enewetak Hermit Falls is a cliff jumping spot in the greater Los Angeles area. It is located along Santa Anita Creek near the town of Arcadia. The trailhead begins at Chantry Flat and winds 2 miles down Santa Anita Canyon to a 40 foot waterfall. There is a swimmin hole above the falls with cliffs ranging from 10-40 feet, the pool below the falls has jumps from 20-60 feet. If you plan to come during the summer parking is a hectic shit-show. You will most likely park an extra mile down the road making the total hiking distance 6 miles. Occasionally sand washes in making the depth unsuitable for diving, always check before you jump.
