• Overview

Burleigh H. Murray Ranch is a property belonging to the California state parks department. It is located in San Mateo County .Purchased by the State of California in 1983, this historic ranch property is hidden in a valley south of Half Moon Bay . The area offers solitude, groves of mature eucalyptus, and a rich assortment of wildlife.The current hiking trail consists of the old ranch road winding its way alongside Mills Creek for about one mile up to a 1930s bungalow that serves as a park residence. At this point the trail veers off the road and bends down to cross the creek allowing the visitor to look back in time while viewing the Mills Barn and surrounding out buildings. Continuing on the road beyond the barn the valley narrows between steep, chaparral covered hills. The walking is good for an additional mile above the barn past the wooden tanks supplying water for the park residence, then the trail fades away into the dense growth of stinging nettles, poison oak and coyote brush. ^[1]
