Park Information

Located on the San Lorenzo River and nestled in the redwood forest of the Santa Cruz Mountains, 6 miles from downtown Santa Cruz, is the perfect base camp for your family adventures. Santa Cruz County is one of the few places where a hiking journey can begin in an old growth redwood forest, wind past graceful waterfalls and end on a pristine beach. It contains 14 state parks with hundreds of miles of hiking, horseback riding, and mountain bike riding trails. Only minute’s away Santa Cruz beach boardwalk offers one of the nation’s oldest and last amusement parks on the beach. Join an ocean fishing or whale watching excursion. Get up close and personal with the wildlife in the Monterey Bay National Marine sanctuary on a kayak. An angler can also choose lake or stream fishing. Wine tasting tours of local vineyards is a great way to get the real flavor of Santa Cruz. Beach combing, tide pooling, bird watching, golfing, skate parks so much to do so little time…..
