Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Hugging the steep sides of a canyon on the slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains, Sanborn Park spreads over 3,453 acres next to Castle Rock State Park. The park is densely forested with towering redwoods, coast live oak, big leaf maple, Pacific madrone, and tanbark oak. The trees provide pleasant shade year round, making the park very popular with hikers from nearby Saratoga. The first part of the Bay Area Ridge Trail passes through the park. The trail extends along the high ridge of the Santa Cruz Mountains and eventually becomes the Skyline-to-the-Sea Trail, which continues to the Pacific Ocean. The entire Bay Area Ridge Trail is 500 miles long and circles the entire Bay Area. The Lake Ranch Reservoir, a tiny mountain lake, is also part of the park. It can be reached using a steep canyon trail at the end of Sanborn Road.
