Purisima Creek Open Space Preserve
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Purisima Creek Open Space Preserve is located atop historic Kings Mountain in Woodside, California. This over 3,000 acre preserve was established with a $2 million dollar gift from the Save-the-Redwoods League.
The main entrance for the Purisima Open Space is off the Skyline Boulevard section of California Highway 35. The park is notable for its tall coastal redwoods, along with coastal scrub and hardwood forests of tanoak, madrones, and Douglas firs.
The preserve overlooks Half Moon Bay, and has over 21 miles of trails for hiking, bicycling, and horseback riding. The popular Redwood Trail is wheelchair accessible. Like many parks in California, dogs are not allowed.
The Purisima Open Space is part of the Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District, spanning over 50,000 acres in the San Francisco Bay Area. Parking is available at the main entrance, 4.5 miles south of Highway 92 on Skyline Boulevard.
