Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park Details
As one of the most popular attractions in the Santa Cruz Mountains, this state park is a must-visit for any nature lover. The crown gem is the 40-acre old-growth redwood forest, where you will find some of the tallest and largest trees in all of California. The rest of the 4,600-acre park is a mix of three other habitats sandhills, grasslands, and river riparian. Wander along the 15-miles of trails, fish for salmon on the banks of the Lorenzo River, or take a dip in the Garden of Eden swimming hole. There are also several campgrounds (tents and RVs) for those who want to spend the night.
