Located in the Russian River region 75 miles north of San Francisco, this park's 805 acres feature a magnificent grove of ancient redwoods, self-guided nature trails and picnic facilities. As you stroll through this beautiful old-growth redwood forest, you will see some of the tallest and oldest trees remaining in this part of California.

Austin Creeks 5,683 acres of open forests and rolling hills offer a striking contrast to the cool, dark redwood grove in Armstrong Redwoods. Springtime wildflower displays include Douglas iris, buttercups, lupines, brodiaeas, California poppies and shooting stars.
