This past weekend my family went camping at Hendy Woods SP for the first time. Upon arrival we were…read moregreeted by multiple park rangers at check in (it was the most staff I've ever encountered in a check in, which was nice because it made it go quickly). The roads were a bit bumpy but nothing we couldn't handle. Restrooms were well maintained. We didn't use the showers, but it was nice knowing we had the option if needed... and it seemed like they were nice and hot since other guests were using them and the mirrors were fogging up (not complaining). We did notice a lot of brush piles, so hopefully they are actively taking care of the forest to prevent forest fires. Loved that we weren't too far from the beaches and enjoyed a day at Fort Bragg. We will definitely return.

Uniqueness: Redwoods galore here! Drive Time:…read more [x][x][x][x][x] Scenic Quality: [x][x][x][x][x] Setting: [x][x][x][x][x] Cost: [x][x][x][x][ ] Recommendation? Come early and enjoy a beautiful hike in the redwoods with barely a crowd! Morning drive to Mendocino made us make a pit stop at Hendy Woods State Park as we heard there were beautiful spots of Redwoods that we must check out before going on our way. Pay fee was $8 dollars to get in which wasn't the worst but as we kept driving, we got a little worried about where the Redwoods were as a portion of the drive looked pretty sparse & dry. But worry not, once we got very deep into the drive near the end where the hike begins, the trees started popping up everywhere! Trail was clean and so much greenery everywhere, from the tall Redwoods to the short ferns growing all over the place. We stumbled upon a massive felled Redwood tree which was perfect for photo captures. This place is a perfect spot to stop by if you want to spend a couple of hours soaking in the fresh air and nature!

A pretty, quiet park with fishing access. The reservoir doesn't seem to be as dramatically affected…read moreby the drought compared to places like Clearlake, so the fishing access is better without a vessel. There are bass, catfish and bluegill here. Trails go around the reservoir so you have many options for fishing, or you can take a kayak on the lake and fish anywhere you like. There is also a rope swing along the trail not far from the parking lot that kids use for recreation. There are bathrooms on site and many picnic tables as well.

We hit this park yesterday for some fun in the sun and it was perfect. The course wasn't crowded,…read morethe weather wasn't too hot (being up in Lake County I expected it to be hotter), and it was beautiful. Old oaks all over the park making some holes challenging but worth the effort. Overall it is well maintained for a disc course. There is a total of 23 holes if you play A-E in the middle of the course. I think it's around hole 14 that you hit these holes which I recommend. Nice rolling terrain with some steep sections that make it a great day out there. We had never been before and did ask a couple times about where the next hole is to be found but honestly it's labeled well enough to figure it out, we just aren't shy to ask. There are several tee boxes for each hole but primary is where you find the tee pad. Many tournaments out here which is the reason for the different starts. I thought it was great. Lots of benches and places to drop your bag by the tee boxes which is nice, garbage cans around the course to keep it clean. Bathrooms after hole 6 up the way a bit by the picnic grounds. Nothing at the start of the course, so ladies be prepared. If you are looking for a new course check this spot out, really pretty and worth the trek.

Great space. Two parks, one for small dogs and one as the sign says is for "large and brave" dogs…read more The big dog park is plenty shady and tons of room for dog play. Definitely needs some TLC, particularly new mulch as the under mat is showing all over. Drinking fountain (human part) didn't work. At the small park it's full of foxtails and the drinking fountain didn't work at all (human or dog). The main sign is deceptive saying the low gap dog park requires leashes which just isn't accurate inside the fencing. Otherwise great park for your pup- just recommend to bring your own water for u and your fur child.

This was my first time here and I was a little unprepared since the dog park was not our original plan, I had no ball or frisbee or anything to entertain my dog if there were no doggies at the park. Thankfully there are tennis balls around from previous visitors(thank you!). The water station for the dogs in the "Small & Shy" side was acting up, water wasnt flowing into it but someone was kind enough to leave an old plastic tupperware to use for filling. The dog park was clean & it looked like everyone did a great job at picking up after their pups. Will be back!

This is perhaps my favourite disc golf course I've played to date. I'm on a PNW road trip and am…read moretaking my sweet time, decided to check out a few courses on my drive. This one popped up and intrigued me as being not too long, right off of I-5 and nicely wooded. It got all of those spot on and then some! I don't understand there low ratings here (granted there are only 2). It seems they only comment on some shady characters that were hanging here. They didn't mention the awesome disc golf course which is the main attraction. I played the first several holes with a local which really helped as the first half is very wooded and a couple of blind shots behind trees. The course really opens up on the back 9 and some more distance is needed in your drives, but still nothing much more than about 350-400ft. I never found hole 13 and couldn't find the tee box for hole 18. I'm sure I just didn't find them. The signage is second to none, there are multiple pin placements, and all of the cement tee boxes are very clean. All in all it's what I would call a 'destination' course, certainly worth the stop.
