It's a long back road to this park, but a walk up the creek, along the series of waterfalls, under the mixed canopy, will convince you it was worth the drive.

I hesitate to speak about this park because I would like to keep it my secret but if you enjoy beautiful waterfalls, lush redwood forests, and hard and easy trails depending on your mood then...... look no further, this is your place!

Nice leisurely hikes. Dog friendly. Parking was less than $10 I believe (don't quote me). We went on a sunday morning and it was relatively empty. The drive there after leaving the main road was mostly one lane, so you might have to deal with cars coming from the opposite direction. Overall, not bad...a little far from the bay area though.

Uvas Canyon park is a nice park with manicured trails and small waterfalls. It's great for a short hike. You have to pay to park.
