Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve Details

This 805-acre park is a protected reserve of beautiful, old-growth redwood forests. Here, you can visit the Parsons Jones Tree, the tallest in the park standing taller than 310-feet, or the Colonel Armstrong Tree, which is over 1,400 years old. Before it became a state park in 1934, it was owned by Colonel James Armstrong and the Le Baron family before being sold to the city of Sonoma in order to protect the land. The state finally took over and made the forest a protected natural reserve. It now has a visitors center, amphitheater, picnic facilities, and several nature trails for visitors to use.
