Lakeside Lookout was designed to attract local wildlife and provide educational opportunities for young visitors. The area fronts Descanso’s man-made lake and leads visitors to the Boddy Lodge and north to the 7-acre oak woodland. The idea was to mimic a San Gabriel Mountain landscape. Plants such as sage, lavender and marigolds were selected for their ability to entice pollinators and other wildlife from surrounding foothill areas. A wooden viewing platform constructed around a centuries-old heritage oak lets visitors get close to the tree and provides a better view of the garden’s lake.
