The OHV Area and obstacle course is open Saturdays, Sundays, and major holidays (New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, and Labor Day) at 8 a.m. All visitors must exit by 4:30 p.m. Special closures may occur if unusually high water, wildfire or capacity crowds occur. 

Access into the San Gabriel Canyon OHV Area is through the Staging Area located along Highway 39. Parking and restrooms are provided. Food service is available at Camp Williams in the East Fork of San Gabriel Canyon. The nearest towing and gas services are located in the city of Azusa.

San Gabriel Canyon OHV Area has implemented a timed ticket reservation system in order to better manage high visitation demand. Tickets are issued per vehicle. Two types of tickets are available, Primary Vehicle, and Secondary Vehicle. A Primary Vehicle is any vehicle driven into the OHV area under its own power. A secondary vehicle is any vehicle trailered or hauled into the OHV area by a primary vehicle. Secondary vehicle tickets are only valid when purchased in conjunction with a primary vehicle ticket purchase.
