It was named to honor Edward Ritter Hickey, son of a local lumberman who died of influenza while caring for the victims of the epidemic of 1918. In the late 1950's, the Standish family donated over five hundred acres, and additional acquisitions through the years have brought the park's total acreage to 1,012. One of the few virgin redwood stands remaining in this area can be seen on the Grove Trail. The park's three campgrounds contain a total of 162 family campsites. Campsites can accommodate equipment ranging from tents to 24' trailers and 27' motor homes.
Camping is available year-round.
