Patrick's Point State Park

Patrick's Point State Park is a big favorite of all the Popenoes.  Great trails!  Great views!  Lots to see and do for kids of all ages!  Agate Beach is wonderful for agate hunting and for playing by the ocean.  And the park is a good place for family camping, including family groups.  Please click on any thumbnail photo or underlined link here for a larger view.

Let's walk the Rim Trail to Palmer's Point (left) and Wedding Rock (right).  By the ocean north of Wedding Rock, we'll see rocks jutting up in the fog and the view around the point toward Big Lagoon.  Looking south from the Patrick's Point lookout, we'll look down onto Rocky Point.

We'll climb Ceremonial and Lookout Rocks and visit Sumeg, the re-created Yurok village.  And there is the Octopus Trees Grove with its old-growth Sitka spruce:

The park has a new visitor center near the entrance station and an official web site. ReserveAmerica® enables you to book a campsite online.  Also available online are a detailed park map (2275 x 2120 -- 119K) and a park brochure(752K).
