Sugarloaf Ridge State Park contains the headwaters of Sonoma Creek. It runs through gorge and canyon, across the meadow floor, beneath scenic rock outcroppings, and is surrounded at times by redwoods and ferns.
A 25-foot waterfall flows after the winter rains. There is a self-guided nature trail along Sonoma Creek that starts near the picnic area.
With the oak woodland and chaparral, the park has 25 miles of trails for hiking and horseback riding. A Horseback Riding concession is available during the spring, summer, and fall. Reservations for horseback rides can be made through Triple Creek Horse Outfit by calling (707) 887-8700.
