SALT POINT STATE PARK
Home

Park Description: Salt point is 6000 acre park located about 90 miles north of San Francisco with a rugged coastline that's rivaled by few parks in California for sheer beauty and geologic interest. The inland areas feature grasslands which give way to mixed forest from Madrones to Redwoods, including the Kruse Rhododendron Garden and Pigmy Forest. A stay in one of their 109 campsites and hiking some of the 20 miles of trails would be a perfect way to spend a couple of days.

Directions: Once on Highway 1 from any number of bay area towns, go north to Fort Ross. Salt Point is 15 miles further up. Watch for the highway signs.
