Review:
The Van Damme State Park is three miles south of Mendocino on Highway 1. It offers year round camping, hiking, biking and angling. It is one of the richest parks in the area, in terms of historical resources connected with the lumber industry. Several stunted trees inhabit the pygmy forest. A quarter mile on a boardwalk to this part of the fern-filled woodlands is accessible for wheelchairs and takes approximately an hour to complete. A half-day excursion starting at the pygmy forest, encompasses the Fern Canyon Trail and the Old Logging Road Trail. Camping is available all year round. Nine 'primitive' campsites lie deep in the redwood forest.
