Due to significant funding cuts affecting national parks, this year encourages visitors to explore California State Parks instead. With 280 parks offering extensive coastlines, trails, and historic sites, the California State Parks Foundation has launched its first Best of California State Parks Poll, gathering opinions from over 1,300 people to identify the top parks for various activities. Highlights include Morro Bay for its scenic beauty and activities, along with Mount Tam in Marin, favored for its hiking trails and stunning views. Exploring these parks promotes appreciation of nature amid challenges facing larger national parks.
Instead of compounding the many challenges facing national parks due to funding cuts, we propose a getaway to California State Parks, which offer diverse options.
California boasts 280 state parks with extensive offerings, including 970 miles of lakes and riverfronts, and unique experiences across scenic and historic landscapes.
The Best of California State Parks Poll highlights top parks for activities like camping and hiking, with feedback from over 1,300 residents improving park visibility.
