• Overview

Armstrong Redwoods State Reserve is a California state park , located in Sonoma County just north of Guerneville, California at . The park preserves 805 acres (3.3 km²) of the Coast Redwood (Sequoia sempervirens). Coast redwoods are classified as temperate rain forests and they need wet and mild climates to survive. The rainfall in Armstrong Redwoods averages 55 in/year (1.4 m/year), almost all from September through June and predimonantly in winter. Additionally, the trees are often shrouded in fog, particularly during June through September, otherwise a dry season with little or no rain. This fog helps to maintain the moist conditions needed for the redwoods to survive during the summer. The reserve includes a visitor center, outdoor amphitheater, self-guided nature trails, and a variety of picnic facilities. The best way to experience the redwoods is to park in the lot at the park entrance and walk in for free. It is also possible to drive into the park for $6. All of the park features are a short easy stroll along level trails that are disability accessible.Although no camping is available in the redwood grove, there is a campground at Austin Creek State Recreation Area, which is adjacent to the park. Austin Creek is accessed through the same entrance as Armstrong Redwoods and its rolling hills, open grasslands, conifers, and oaks are a contrast to the dense canopy of the redwood grove.^[1]
