POMO TRAILS AND COUNTY PARK

Start at Hidden Parking Lot at Gualala Point Park at 10:00 (on the westside entrance, just left after pulling past fee post). There is a fee per car although many of us have passes. Or park across the street if you do not have a pass. Walk down on the County Park Road to the campground and at the bottom of the hill take unofficial trail heading toward the river and explore the beautiful forest. On the return up the road, take the hole in the fence to connect with the Sea Ranch trails to post 152 to Haversack, turning right on Deer Trail and continue down Deer Trail until post 146 to Pomo Creek Trail. Do the entire Pomo Creek trail loop and back to Deer Trail Road, this time turning right at post 147 to the Pomo Hillside Trail. Connect to the Badger Trail go back to the County Park Road and then back to the cars. Lunch at the picnic tables next to the Hidden Parking Lot at the end.
