Beautiful park with pristine facilities and excellent staff. Frankly a perfect Hidden gem of Northern California. Great place to see the redwoods that isn’t crowded. I am having my wedding there in the summer of 2026 and it’s truly a dream venue.

Beautiful place to walk around, but the water fall does not flow in September
