Pacheco State Park Details
Originally part of the El Rancho San Luis Gonzaga Mexican land grant, which was gifted to Francisco Pacheco in 1843. It covers 6,890-acres of western Merced County, although only 2,600-acres are currently open to visitors. However, it was primarily used as a cattle and horse ranch by the Pacheco family until it was donated in 1992 to the state to be used as a public park. It contains 28 miles of trails that are open to horseback riders, hikers, or mountain bikers. You will also be able to see remnants from the original ranch, including a line shack and adobe house.
