State Park: Birding, Hike, Picnic, RV, Walk
A 30-acre reserve for western azalea (Rhododendron occidentale). Each spring, a profusion of pink and white blossoms scents the air. The reserve offers a short self-guided nature trail with emphasis on other plants of the north coast area. There is a picnic area available. Plan to visit in April and May when azaleas are in bloom.
