hiking in north orange county?

i grew up here. i hiked elsewhere.
where could you possibly hike here? this morning we were going to venture to the mountains or maybe malibu, and at the very least south county to find a little piece of nature to hike around in. but surprisingly, we found a little hike with a lack of city (for the most part) only a little ways away. we headed to clark regional park. it's not completely amazing, but we hiked a little 1.5 mile trail around the perimeter of the park. according to my husband, the scent of pine we found was just what he was looking forward to. we saw many squirrels and a bunny and some geckos. we hiked on dirt, not pavement and the kids found some steeper parts challenging. at the end there was an interpretive center with dinosaur bones! - but it was closed. so we'll have to go back, and we're happy about that.
