Sinkyone Wilderness State Park Details

If you are looking for an unspoiled coastline with relatively few tourists, then look no further than this state park. While it is situated right between the King Range Mountains and the Pacific Ocean, the park cannot be reached by any highway or paved road, making it a remote destination for hikers and backpackers. The diverse landscape of black sand beaches, sweeping coastal bluffs, and old-growth redwood forests are the perfect backdrop for your off-the-beaten-path adventure. Most visitors come to hike the 22-mile Lost Coast Trail while spending the evenings at the primitive campsites dotted around the park.
