"For an easy-access, quick fix, there's no better choice than the sweet canyon waterfall at Sugarloaf in Kenwood that gushes forth during winter rains amid huge boulders and greenery. The 25-foot waterfall draws weekend crowds who revel in the refreshing results of a wet season. The Sonoma Creek Falls can be reached in as little as a third of a mile via the lower Canyon Trail."
"It's a mostly level path to and from the falls. More parking is available up top, near the park visitor center, where the upper Canyon Trail offers a 450-foot drop down to the falls. The walk is just under a half-mile in each direction, though the return trip is a fairly steep climb up."
"The Sonoma Coast is characterized by steep bluffs fronting beaches or coves. Small ravines that traverse the coastal forest and grasslands transport water seasonally. The water spills directly over the cliffs, creating lovely beach waterfalls. Two of the best ones are Phillips Gulch at Salt Point State Park and Stengel Beach at The Sea Ranch. Take Highway 1 north of Jenne"
The North Coast's abundance of public parkland and open space produces numerous gushing streams and cascading creek flows across Sonoma, Marin and Mendocino counties. Sugarloaf Ridge State Park in Kenwood features a sweet canyon waterfall on Sonoma Creek that gushes during winter rains amid huge boulders and greenery. The 25-foot falls are reachable via the lower Canyon Trail in about a third of a mile on a mostly level path, or from the park visitor center via the upper Canyon Trail with a 450-foot drop. A 2-mile Pony Gate Trail loop through redwood canyon offers a longer, hour-long hike. The Sonoma Coast hosts beach waterfalls where small ravines spill water over steep bluffs, notably Phillips Gulch and Stengel Beach.
