A peaceful place to picnic, walk, or camp. This 2,882-acre park in central Marin County is in a spectacular setting with gigantic redwoods, lush ground cover, and open grasslands. In November and December, it's possible to watch the annual spawning run of silver salmon in Papermill Creek.

You can take your dog for an easy walk on the old Northwest Pacific Railroad grade, a paved, flat, shady three-mile path (bikers and Rollerbladers love this trail, though, so be cautious). This is a segment of the longer Cross Marin Trail, so you can continue your saunter beyond the borders of the park. Both picnic areas and camping facilities here are well appointed with bathrooms, showers, stoves, and tables.
