This park features 15 miles of hiking and riding trails through a forest that looks much the same as it did 200 years ago. Zayante Indians once lived in the area, where they found shelter, water and game. The park is the home of the Redwood Grove, with a self-guided nature path, and Douglas fir, madrone, oak and the most unusual feature of the park, a stand of Ponderosa pine. The park has a picnic area above the San Lorenzo River.
Anglers fish for steelhead and salmon during the winter.
The park has a nature center and bookstore. The tallest tree in the park is about 285 feet tall, and about 16 feet tall. The oldest trees in the park are about 1400 to 1800 years old. The park is near Felton on Highway 9 in the Santa Cruz Mountains. After you go over the mountains, turn right on Mt. Hermon Road.
