We have done 2 hikes in the last month this place is rugged and beautiful. The last hike on sat we came up on a rattlesnake in the bush close to the trail I gotta say it was awesome to hear but hard to see so we did our videos at a safe distance and moved on so be safe out there . Going back this Saturday to hike to the river

Helpful rangers, lots of options for shorter and longer excursions. Only downside to Ridge View camp is lack of water, so you'll have to haul enough in for the stay.

My first time hiking at Henry. W Coe State Park.( January/3/2021). My hike started from head quarter to China Hole Creek. It is 11 miles out and back, 1,717 feet of elevation gain. It starts with downhill all the way and obviously uphill all the way back. it’s mostly narrow trails which make it unique and fun. This was an absolutely beautiful hike: spectacular views, awesome creek, and not too difficult. The view at the top of each hill was fantastic , the sign of green went on for miles. I saw only 5 hikers,1 bicycler, few coyotes, hear several woodpeckers, and some deer. It is secluded quiet, but very mighty area, those rocks and ferns wall does look nice and has good potential. China Hole is Kelly Lake,since it’s not enough rain, so not much water left at China Hole. But still worth to spending sometime to hang out, it’s very pretty and peaceful, perfect place for picturesque. Good hiking shoes, snacks, water, walking sticks,dress up warm since it’s winter. Great scenery, definitely come back this park for different hikes.

Great hiking destination. What I like about this park in particular is that the trails are slightly more on the wilderness trail side, compared to narrow unpaved roads that other park call trails. I very much prefer winding 1ft wide trails. This park has plenty. Another great thing is the variety of ridge trails. I prefer ridges to cantons, and this park is defined by its ridges. There is a variety of very beautiful trees everywhere: manzanitas, oaks, pines. The sierra forest is very airy and full of light. The views are awesome. $8 parking fee sucks. Parking is limited. YMMV.
Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
Parking is $8 at Coe HQ at the east end of Dunne, $6 self-registration at Hunting Hollow entrance (south on the way to Gilroy Hot Springs).
For information on drive-in camping, see: https://coepark.net/camping If you are a backpacker, see: https://coepark.net/backpacking There is a lot of useful information on coepark.net including water conditions and trail conditions plus information on mountain biking and horseback riding. There are several events planned in the park that have details on the website.
Yes, camping is allowed. There are several individual sites in a loop located near the main house and barn. There is an outhouse but no showers. Water is located at spigots located throughout the loop. Some sites have fair amount of natural shade by trees and shrubs. Likely to be hot in summer, most ideal camping is Spring, Fall and possibly winter if it is mild.
No. Henry Coe Park is in the oak forested hills outside of Morgan Hill California, hwy 101 @ Dunne. .......Henry Cowell park is in the Redwoods at Felton California Santa Cruz County, enter @ Hwy 9. All this information is available right here on Google Maps. The info on naming of these Parks is available on the internet. Stop asking everyone to do the work for you.
The Coe Ranch Campground is fairly small with only 20 campsites. The campsites are relatively close together, though some offer a little bit more privacy. The Manzanita Point HIke-In Group Camps are generally farther apart. However, they are intended for groups of 9 or more people who want to HIKE to their campsite. The hike is 2 to 2.75 miles. Conditions permitting, up to 2 vehicles may drive in to the hike-in group camps to carry equipment and supplies. Other restrictions apply.
For the Coe Ranch Campground, reservations are recommended and are made through Reservecalifornia.com or by calling 800-444-PARK. Backpacking permits are first-come, first-served.
There may be a Tarantula Fest this year, but it will depend on where we are at with COVID. As soon as we know, it will be posted at coepark.net.
The park has partially reopened for Day Use as of today. Burned areas of the park remain closed until further notice. The park is also closed to backpacking until further notice. Camping is available by reservation in the Coe Ranch Campground through ReserveCalifornia.com or by calling 800-444-PARK. More detailed information on the partial reopening will hopefully appear soon at parks.ca.gov.
It should tell you how to appeal on your ticket. I got one for Gilroy Hot Springs road (which is very poorly posted ... If at all). I pondered the same thing, but decided it was easier to pay the $55.00.
The fee collection and information area is to the right as one enters the parking lot. Your citation should include an address where you may pay the fine or contest it.
Got some good fishing spots that you hike to but no hunting in California State parks.

Chaz, There are numerous lakes and trails throughout the park, so there is a wide range of distances and elevation gains/losses to the lakes from the three entrances. Distances to popular lakes such as Kelly, Coit, and Mississippi can range from 6.5 to 13 miles one way with 1500 to more than 2000 feet of elevation gain/loss from either Coe Ranch or Hunting Hollow. Is there a specific lake you had in mind? You can find information for some of the routes at coepark.net/backpacking You can purchase a park map, which includes distance and elevation gains/losses, at coepark.net/maps Manny Pitta State Park Volunteer
Cultural resources (historic and prehistoric artifacts) are generally to be left in place at all CA state parks.... I'd ask staff.
Coe Park has great fishing, with large-mouth bass, green sunfish, crappie, and bluegill in its lakes and ponds. However, it's important for you to know that the park has no lakes or creeks that can be reached by vehicle. The park has very steep, rugged terrain, and most fishing ventures into Coe's backcountry require a considerable expenditure of time and energy. To go beyond the relatively close-in lakes (Bass Pond and Frog Lake), you'll be faced with elevation gains (and losses) in the thousands of feet. All state and federal rules apply and are enforced. For a list of popular fishing spots please go to http://coepark.net/pineridgeassociation/activities/fishing
The Dowdy Ranch Entrance is on the southeastern side of the park and is open on weekends from May through Labor Day from Pacheco Pass Highway 152. The only entrances open year-round are the Coe Ranch and Hunting Hollow Entrances. Both are on the western side of the park.
East Dunne Ave was open up to the Coe Ranch Entrance yesterday. The Coe Ranch Entrance is open 24/7. Use caution this morning as there may be some icy spots on the road. There may be some small patches of snow at the higher elevations in the park.
The trees that really stand out are the bay Laurel. You can smell it throughout the park and in many places you walk on fallen bay leaves. The next big category are oaks. Watch for their acorns on the ground. The Madrones are easily recognized by their orange-brown trunks.
My favorite entrance is through Hunting Hollow/Coyote Creek. You always finish down hill. 😊
Hunting is not allowed in Henry W. Coe State Park.
Yes there is. You have to pay for each night per vehicle. Yiu can either pay when they are open or self pay if not manned
Yes, if you are willing to hike. This time of year, it is a serious hike and open fires aren't allowed.
There are bobcats and mountain lions, but no bears. I saw a herd of wild boar last weekend, and there are plenty of deer.
Not from the park. I don't know if there are any facilities nearby from which you could, but the park itself does not offer horse rentals.
Actually,dogs are allowed IN THE CAMPGROUND, but not on the hiking trails.
Intense is the best way to describe it. Bring lots of water, there are huge areas with little shade, and rough terrain.
