Excellent recreational opportunities for hikers as well as mountain bikers (restricted to fire roads) and equestrians are available at the state park.
Visitors can expect to see 36 miles of trails through open grassland, live oaks, and spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean. The park also features numerous geologic formations such as earthquake faults, marine fossils, volcanic intrusions, and a wide variety of sedimentary formations.
Dogs are not allowed on the park trails, fire roads, or in the back country. However, there are specific locations within the park that allow dogs. Visitors can refer to the provided PDF file for more information on dog-friendly trails.
