Review:
This 7400 acre wildlife corridor links coastal and inland biomes. It was established in 1974 and the Big River wetlands were added in 2002. Gentle trails take visitors along the rugged coastline to secluded beaches at Mendocino Headlands State Park. Each season has its delights. Spring brings the wild flowers, summers are cool and in fall the air is crisp and clear. In winter, whales can be seen migrating. The scenic nature attracts painters and photographers. The park is also used for swimming, fishing, surfing and hiking. For more than 20 years, the park has hosted the annual Mendocino Music Festival in July, which features big bands and the festival orchestra.
