Activities to Enjoy at the Park
1. Hike in the New Park Areas
With the new expansion, there will be miles added to the park’s already extensive trail system! These new areas include the 33-acre Robert C. Kirkwood Entrance (Map) that not only opens miles of new trails to explore, but also provides state-of-the-art facilities, such as an amphitheater, parking, gender-neutral flush toilets, and accessible pathways and picnic areas.
Are you hiking along the 30-mile Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail? One of the most popular backpacking routes in the Bay Area, the trail connects Castle Rock State Park to Big Basin Redwoods State Park. It will now be joined at the newly acquired Castle Rock West, an important stopover for backpackers just north of the Waterman Gap campground!
