Henry W. Coe State Park

About Henry W. Coe State Park

Coe Park is Northern California's largest national park, covering 2.5 million acres and a population of more than 1.2 million people. The park's terrain is rugged, varied and beautiful, from high ridges to steep gorges.

Once home to the Ohlone Indians, it is now home to a fascinating variety of plants and animals, including elusive mountain lions. Coe Park is open all year round, but the park is open all year round for people who just like to visit.

Ground fires may not be allowed in the park, but fires within a designated ring of fire are permitted.

Fire baskets, fire baskets and fire rings are also permitted on private property, as long as they are within the ring.

In the hinterland, camping with bottled fuel is not permitted, and camping without fuel is only permitted on private land within the Ring of Fire and within 1,000 feet of the park.

Coe Park has an area called Manzanita Point, and another area where groups can camp is in a shady little valley called Poverty Flat. The campsite is located near the park's headquarters on a steep hill on the eastern side of the Ring of Fire, with views over the ridges, gorges and hinterland. You can reserve up to 20 bikes for pitches or $20 per bike per day for two-person groups.

Coe Park offers excellent fishing, but most of the fishing trips in Coe's hinterland require a lot of time and energy. However, it is important to know that the park is very steep and rugged and behaves very differently from the lakes and streams that can be reached by car. To get to one of the lakes or streams in the park, as well as its lakes, you must experience elevation gains and losses of thousands of feet.

The park is very different from the lakes and streams that can be used during the season, and from other parks in the area.

The paths, roads and more strenuous hikes are incredibly steep, which can lead to slow descents - hikes that take longer than you think. For longer hikes, you should definitely take a lot of water and food with you, but not too much.

On warmer days, take more water than you think necessary, and don't forget to bring a card - a great resource for park staff and visitors.

Coe Park is a vast wilderness, and it's not hard to get lost in the wrong place, so plan a week-long trip by walking 10 miles a day.

The park can accommodate up to 60 backpacker parties with a maximum of eight people per party, and the locations are located between less than a mile and more than 20 miles from the park's headquarters. You get the best seats, but you have to come first, get served first and get your seat first.

The rough terrain offers a variety of riding possibilities, ranging from medium to extremely difficult.

There are practically no easy routes by bike, but the park offers a wide range of possibilities, from easy to very difficult and even some of the most challenging.

If you plan to venture more than a few miles to the park, your horse should be in excellent physical condition and prepared for steep, rough terrain. Coe Park is a paradise for riders, and there are eight designated horse camps in the parks. Each has reeds and corals that can hold at least two horses, as well as a variety of other amenities such as waterfalls, picnic areas, a picnic area and a hiking trail.
