Fall Creek Unit Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park reviews
14Our favorite go-to hike because of the beautiful creeks. The loop is really fun (if the seasonal bridges aren't out).
What a beautiful forest and creekside trail. Many down trees & trail slippage from the recent rains, but it’s still passable for the nimble (not for those using mobility aids).
A whole network of hikes. Very interesting. Some good ruins.
People on the trails are very friendly
No restrooms
Parking lot is in need of grading and fill of gravel.
Trash cans don't exist nor a porta potty. The site is deemed unimproved by the state.
Also, beware exiting the parking lot. You're turning into a blind turn and the speed limit was just increased to 35 miles per hour based on the limit sign
Simply one of the most beautiful parks in the world. Very cool, clean, & shaded. It has a crystal clear creek & breathtaking beauty. One of the best running or hiking trails I've ever been too.
Very scenic trail along Fall Creek.
Even in June still a lot of water flowing down, eventually ending in the San Lorenzo River.
Good variety of trails. The ones on this map I would call moderate for the most part. Most people should wear a sturdy shoe or a light hiking boot. Trails generally well-marked. Went midday on a Wednesday and I usually went 3-4 minutes at a time without seeing other hikers, though went more than 10 at one point. Lovely creek sounds much of the time.
The trails go through the woods with a lot of redwoods and views of the creek. Anything from a short hike to hiking all day.
Beautiful tranquil park with wonderful trails.
I am looking forward to taking my family back to this place. It is filled with the sounds of nature beautiful trees flowing water, very well cared for trails.
Absolutely one of the most beautiful places on Earth. I've been running on those trails for 25 years every time I do it makes me feel like I'm in Junior High again.
Beautiful deep woods trail along a babbling brook still flowing at the end of August. Shady cool, easy trails. BEWARE THE POISON OAK! ITS EVERYWHERE at the beginning of the trail.
A pleasant surprise. We saw the reviews and expected an easy hike but we were amazed at the beauty of the creek, surrounding forest, and butterflies. Much less crowded than other area parks, even for Tuesday.
Absolutely a must hike trail if you are visiting the greater Santa Cruz area. This trail is easy for anyone that considers themselves a hiker. For the occasional nature conisuer there are a few steep parts on the trail that might take a small amount of effort, but as long as you're in okay shape it's not a huge deal. The trail runs parrell to the creek and makes for a beautiful backdrop the whole way. The lime kilms are a nice stop and a great place to get some history in with your nature hike. Others have mentioned the Kilms can be crowed. I hiked this trail on an August weekday in the afternoon and the kilms where not crowed. Overall a plesant experience.
With a running creek and fresh rains, could not have a better experience hiking the redwoods than a quick Fall Creek trip.
Easy parking in a small lot at the head of the trail. Trails are, clearly marked, well-worn and easy to traverse.
