Rocky Peak, which gets its name from the many large craggy boulders that dot its surface, can be viewed from several locations along Topanga Canyon Blvd., and from California State Route 118, also known as the Ronald Reagan Freeway.

The area was part of the homeland and trading crossroads of the Tataviam, Tongva, and Chumash people for eight thousand years.

The park reaches five miles (8 km) northward from Simi Freeway to Las Llajas Canyon.
