Hendy Woods

by admin on June 10, 2009

The park features two virgin redwood groves; Big Hendy with a self-guided discovery trail and Little Hendy. The Navarro River runs the length of the park.

Located in the middle of the Anderson Valley wine district, this park is warmer and less foggy than redwood parks along the coast. The park is well known for a fallen redwood stump that was home for a man known locally as the Hendy Woods Hermit.

Location/Directions

The park is eight miles northwest of Boonville, a half-mile south of Highway 128 on Philo-Greenwood Road.

The park is located on one of the scenic by-ways, the Greenwood Road, in southwestern Mendocino County just off State Highway 128.

Although it is less than a three hour drive from the San Francisco Bay Area it is as though in another world.

One passes from the hustle and bustle of a modern metropolitan center into a majestically silent primeval forest of Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirons).

Seasons/Climate/Recommended clothing

The weather can be changeable; layered clothing is recommended.
