Located in a hidden valley on the San Mateo Coast about a mile from the intersection of Highways 1 and 92, Burleigh H. Murray Ranch is a park surrounding the historical ranch that belonged to Burleigh H. Murray, a Vermont farmer who settled on the property in 1857.

The State of California bought it in 1983 and is keeping the Mills Barn and other ranch outbuildings in ‘arrested decay’ as an example of an English Lake District Bank Barn. The park is covered with mature groves of eucalyptus trees and rich wildlife. There are numerous hiking and horseback riding trails through the park as well as several picnic areas.
