Salt Point State Park Details
Theres a lot of discovery in this Northern California park. From the rocky coastline to the Douglas fir forest, visitors have a wealth of natural beauty to explore on land. There are 20 miles of hiking trails and multiple campsites for overnight guests. However, the park also has a lot to see offshore as well.
