Rindge Dam is a historic, abandoned concrete dam located in Malibu Creek Canyon. Built in the 1920s, it once supplied water to the Malibu area but was never completed. Today, it's a popular hiking destination, accessible via a moderately challenging trail that winds through oak woodlands and along Malibu Creek. Visitors can explore the dam's structure, enjoy the peaceful canyon setting, and spot wildlife. The site offers a unique blend of history and nature, making it a distinctive outing for hikers and history buffs alike.
