Huddart County ParkHuddart’s 974 acres of redwood and fir forests are attractive to hikers, equestrians, and picnickers. Many miles of trails give visitors the chance to pass through cool riparian corridors, traverse steep hillsides, and enjoy views of the Bay.
Just past the Town of Woodside on King’s Mountain Road, this stunning forest park and its group picnic areas and shelters provide a wonderful rural setting for group events and camping.
The Peninsula AIDS Memorial Grove is dedicated in memory of those who have courageously battled AIDS.

Natural featuresThe Park is dominated by majestic second-growth coast redwood forest and mixed evergreen forest. In addition to the redwoods — and the stumps that provide evidence of the logging era — forests include tanoak, madrone, California laurel, coast live oak, and Douglas fir. In the cool shade below, sword fern, and redwood sorrel offer cover for banana slugs.
On sunny slopes, the contrasting thick brush of the Park’s chaparral areas is characterized by native plants such as manzanita, chamise, chaparral pea, and yerba santa.
Other common plants include California lilac, toyon, and wood rose. Wildflowers include sticky monkeyflower, western hound’s tongue, Indian warrior, and Fremont’s star lily.
Visitors may see black-tailed deer, raccoons, squirrels, brush rabbits, lizards, and less commonly bobcats, coyotes, and gray foxes. Commonly seen birds include wrentits, acorn woodpeckers, chickadees, towhees, scrub jays, and Steller’s jays.
