Review:
There are two groves of towering redwoods in the park, Big Hendy and Little Hendy. Many of the trees are over 300 foot tall and estimated to be more than 1000 years old. Five miles of trails have been laid out through the fern-filled forests and riverside meadows in Hendy Woods State Park. The Discovery Trail is 0.6 miles long and is wheelchair accessible. The Hermit Trail passes some the makeshift shelters used by a Russian immigrant that inhabited the area for 18 years. One of his homes was in a downed redwood. Popular seasonal activities include swimming in summer and canoeing and kayaking in late winter and early spring.
