About Butano State Park

Little Butano Creek runs through a redwood-filled canyon that forms the core of this 4,728-acre park. The creek is a tributary of Butano Creek within the Pescadero Creek watershed. The land protects this secluded canyon setting rather than open coastline or grassland.

Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
