Perfect for all redwood lovers, the Pescadero Creek Park area is an incredible shady trail for a hike on a hot summer day. This is a great place to escape from city sounds and enjoy the peace of nature. Pescadero Creek Park, a San Mateo County park complex trail system, is interconnected as it encompasses Memorial Park, Heritage Grove Park, Sam McDonald Park, and Portola Redwoods State Park. Though, officially, access to the extensive trail system starts on the eastern end of Wurr Road just off Pescadero Road.

The trails are roughly an hour away from the Bay Area and each varies in level of difficulty. The trails encompass select redwood country featuring ridges, hills, rolling meadows, and valleys. Watch out for poison oak and don't forget the mosquito repellant. Equestrian and bicycles are permitted, refer to the park rangers for information about trail conditions as well as designated service roads. Motorized vehicles are prohibited in areas which are not paved.

Even though it is located is close to the ocean, the Pescadero Creek Trail Area is typically not busy and is always absolutely stunning to visit. Wild pigs can be spotted along the road. Be aware that the trails can sometimes be more difficult to find so plan accordingly.
