This place is awesome for hiking. We went on 2 hikes there. It's a beautiful calming place to hike. Lots of luscious green plants and colorful flowers. Check this place out you will enjoy it.

Great place to walk through natural beauty. It's calm and quiet in spite being frequented by a lot of tourists. There are separate trails for dogs. Dogs are not allowed on the loop trail which is about a mile long. This trail also has restrooms halfway through it along with a small picnic area. There are plaques with good information regarding various trees and activities done by the park authorities to maintain and keep the trail safe. This park hosts a tree trunk that dates all the way back to 1 A.D. which is awesome! There's a gift shop near the parking area. There's also a board with information regarding the various trails and wildlife that inhabit the park. If you are lucky you can spot a few black tailed deer so keep your eyes peeled. There's also a visitor center close to the trail heads. Parking: Get here early before noon so you can find parking easily. The parking fee is $10. If you get here early there might not be anyone at the kiosk to accept payment so be sure carry check or cash that you can drop off in a slip available at the gift shop.

Some gigantic redwood trees. Not so affected by the fires what we could see. A really nice easy walk through the woods from the visitors center. Parking is $10 for one car. Well kept park. Easy to reach from the highway. We spent 60-90 min here.

Beautiful if not busy State Park. Paved trails and dirt trails to suit your preferences. Bathrooms and visitor center/giilft shop. Gorgeous views and really tall trees. The river trail was particularly pretty. Very family and pet friendly. 10$ gets you into the park and any other state park for the day. Highly recommend but be aware that it's busy with a lot of foot traffic and families.

Dogs are only allowed on certain trails, the picnic areas, & the campgrounds. They must be leashed at all times & never left unattended. They are not allowed on all the fire roads except for Pipeline Fire Road. The trails that they can be on are: Graham Hill Trail, Powder Mill Trail, Meadow Trail & Pipeline Fire Road. Signs should be posted to indicate if dogs are not allowed on a trail, but sometimes those are either vandalized or in need of replacement. They are not allowed in the Fall Creek Unit or at the Garden of Eden. They also cannot access the river since there are no dog friendly trails that take you to the river from the park.
No. Also, no Star Wars type speeder bikes. Henry Cowell Redwoods is more about solitude.
No...📵 Not Really...Oh course...depending upon what kinda phone you have...an service!! You are in One of the most incredibly amazing places.... no real need for them damn phones other then taking Kodak Moments!! Definitely want to document that!! Have fun..be safe...take comfortable shoes🚸 and mosquito repellent....their big as birds!!🚫🐲🌲🌲🌲🌲🌲
Depends on where you go and what your physical condition is. There is a easy flat loop trail, there is a path that goes along the river and that path splits into several paths that go up into the woods. you may benefit from hiking poles there.
No. The closest dump station is New Brighton state Beach. The good news is if you bring your receipt, you can dump for free the day of your check out.
Yes and as well as paved paths there are also off road dirt trails for bikes that are an amazing thrill for the more avid bike rider
I don't think so. The park consists of a small trail only, with parking space near the gift shop.
No. There is a CA State Parks Pass, called the Golden Poppy which allows you multiple access into CA State Parks - vehicle day use. I use mine almost every weekend 🏞
If you're going on a hike I would recommend downloading or printing a map of the trail(s) you plan to hike (I personally used the App Alltrails). Reception can be spotty.
Yes they do
They will show you the map of the area. It will have multi use trails and hiking only. Ucon trail is great for biking!!!!
Moderate hiking. Can be pretty wet when crossing little creeks that may or may not have bridges.
Great place to visit
No issues with cell service here.
Some interior trails are closed but the popular level redwood loop trail is open for visit
No reservation needed to visit the trees. There is a $10 State Park fee at the gate which will cover other parks visited that day. Bathrooms and gift store on premises.
I'm actually not sure, I know you can at Roaring Camp, which is right next to it, they have a big building, and it's beautiful. And they have a few other areas available too.
Yes but probaly booked
Drones are not allowed unless you apply for a film permit & have a valid UAV license.
No fire at the main Henry Cowell, all trails and camping is open. Fall Creek portion of Henry Cowell had fires at the top, all trails are closed.
It was closed during the fires not sure now
I do not know the status at this point. I believe they have this area restricted and that no visitors are permitted at this time due to fires. I was there prior to the fires.
Major fires are happening now just up the road near Boulder Creek... probably a good idea to check that out before making reservations. Pictures I recently posted are from 2 days before the fires, and a few miles west.
Or you can stay at the Hilton in Scott's valley about 7 miles away
The only trail that I know of besides the main road where bikes of any type are allowed is on the river walk trail. It's paved and if i remember correctly will connect you to the town next to the park as well.
I was there two weeks ago on a Saturday. I got there at noon and it was fairly busy at the mail visitor area. $10 day parking fee. The bathrooms are open and relatively clean. There are 4 picnic areas and 4 parking lots that you can use. We left around 5pm. Seem like there were more cars/people at that time. Hope this helps.
Yes in places where there are a lot of people. It gets crowded at the weekends.
Yes
Has some wide very stable surface roads and paths. However some may not be recommend during wet weather.
Closest chain hotels are in Scott's Valley and Santa Cruz. There are some smaller inns and the like along Hwy 9 in Felton and Ben Lomond. If you are looking for an eclectic place to stay, a little bit further north up Highway 9 you will find the historic Brookdale Lodge. You could also check Air B&B for closer lodgings.
There are two types. One is a hasp type lock as mentioned above. Those are on the wooden bear boxes. There are also metal boxes that have a recessed latch. If you are concerned about two legged bears then yes perhaps a lock for the wooden box may be necessary. According to park personel, raccoons have figured out how to open the wooden boxes. We did not experience any intrusion.
No not advisable. It's perfectly wilderness. Protection is better. No flip flops 😂.
Camp fires are allowed unless there is an issued Red Flag warning. Firewood is available for purchase at the campground kiosk & with the Camphost.
The website says that the campground ie Graham hill campground is in a hilltop oak grove a mile away
Yes ...totally wheelchair friendly. It does get a bit wet and muddy due to rains. They also have a train which you can pay for and it takes you around the park.
The cost of a stamp is more then purchasing a new one for them, you may as well just keep it in my opinion.
It is not available at Henry Cowells but is available at Mount Hermon adventures which is nearby.
Dir not see any
Open from sunrise to sunset. I was there this morning and saw a sign that says 6am. But really, you can enter at sunrise and leave by sunset in any given season of the year.
Yes
There are two entrances to Henry Cowell. The n. Big trees lot has 3 day use spots for large RVs. Access via hwy 9. Tge are also a few commercial RV parks further south on hwy 9 if looking for extended stay. The 2nd entrance is on Graham hill road, campground w a few RV spots. Make reservations.
It is a perfect weather for a stroll at the beach.
There are campsites where you can bring a trailer, but they don't rent them
The tallest redwood in Henry Cowell's is on the Redwood Grove Loop Trail. The tallest in Big Basin can be found on Meteor Trail.
The Redwood Grove Loop Trail, is a wheelchair accessible, flat, dirt trail. I don't believe other trails are wheelchair accessible
