Coe Park is the largest state park in northern California, with over 87,000 acres of wild open spaces.  The terrain of the park is rugged, varied, and beautiful, with lofty ridges and steep canyons. Once the home of Ohlone Indians, the park is now home to a fascinating variety of plants and animals, including the elusive mountain lion.

Within Coe Park are the headwaters of Coyote Creek, long stretches of the Pacheco and Orestimba creeks, and a 23,300-acre wilderness area.

The park is open year-round for hikers, mountain bikers, backpackers, equestrians, car campers, picnickers, photographers, and people who simply like to visit parks.

Fall in Coe Park

Winter in the park can be raging gray storms with black billowing clouds, rain pounding on Gore-Tex, and wind rustling nylon. It can be cold tingly fingers and icy wet raindrops drenching your face. Winter can be crisp frosty mornings with crystal clear views of distant mountain peaks. Winter occasionally offers a treat, a white icing of snow gracing the landscape. Winter in the park can be a warm, sunny afternoon, a perfect day for wandering along the trails among leafless oaks and ambling newts, topping off a memorable outing with a lovely sunset at the end the day.
