Description:
This rugged coastal forest, connected to Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve, boasts a fascinating variety of plant and animal life. Its relative isolation makes it popular with outdoor enthusiasts, who enjoy leisurely afternoons exploring miles-long trails. Majestic Marble Mine Ridge provides a dramatic backdrop, towering over awe-inspiring redwood forests, grassy meadows speckled with buttercups and poppies, and tranquil Bull Frog Pond. Historic Pond Farm Pottery, once the home and workshop of artist Marguerite Wildenhain, is also located in the park. Overnight camping is $15/night.
