About MacKerricher State Park
Nine miles of coastline make up the bulk of this park, stretching along beaches, dunes, headlands, coves, and wetlands. Tide pools and forest are also part of the mix, along with a freshwater lake that sits within the coastal terrain. The combination of habitats gives visitors access to both shoreline and inland features within the same protected area.
Hours, fees, camping, reservations and closures are set by the park and change often. Check the official park site before you go.
