This is the only complete guide to the 6 state parks and 16 coastal and riverside parks on Northern California's magnificent Sonoma Coast and along the Russian River. At Sonoma Coast State Park, explore miles of sandy beaches and tidepools and watch whales just offshore. Visit the Russian colonial outpost of Fort Ross State Historic Park and step back in time. Free-dive for abalone or wander the many trails at Salt Point Suite Park. See the rhododendrons at Kruse Rhododendron State Reserve, then admire ancient trees and grand vistas of Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve and Austin Creek State Recreation Area.
