Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park is the reason most travellers pause in Felton. The main redwood grove is easy to reach, with a loop trail under enormous coast redwoods and interpretive signs that explain the forest without turning the walk into homework.
The park is more than the famous grove. Trails reach riverbanks, sandy hills, and mixed forest, so it works for a short family stroll or a half-day walk. It is especially good if you want the redwood feeling but do not have time for Big Basin or the North Coast.
