Hendy Woods State Park Details

Tucked away in the Anderson Valley sits this 816-acre park. Here, you'll find one of the last remaining old-growth forests, with massive 1,000-year-old redwoods towering over 300-feet in the air. Several nature trails lead around the park and through the forest while also taking you to the only publicly accessible spot along the Navarro River. Despite being owned by several different lumber companies in the 1930s, the park avoided being cut and destroyed. It was sold to the state in 1958 and opened up as a public park dedicated to the parks original owner, Joshua Hendy.
