Where is la jolla canyon? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If you paddle ABOUT a mile strait out to sea from the pier you will be over the canyon. It will take a fish finder to find exactly where the edge of it starts.
You'll know you're there when your iron takes an hour to reach bottom.

The Scripps canyon is the one that goes from about the northwest corner of the reserve (not to be confused with THE northwest corner) to that weird round building on the beach north of the pier.

Go to this link, click "My Topo" and wait for it to load the depth info.

Note that it gives you the GPS coordinates just below the map as you move the mouse around.

This is a decent map of both canyons.

This 1952 photo shows Scripps canyon north of the pier, the other canyon (La Jolla) starts just south of the kayak launch, if you paddle due west from the launch you will cross it. They both connect out past the reserve line.

I like this one as it shows the boundaries as well as the canyons.
