| A variety of hiking
trails is available within the park. Some lend themselves to short,
leisurely walks, and others are suitable for vigorous, all-day
hikes. The scenery includes open meadows and thick coniferous or oak
forests. An
excellent way to become familiar with the park's trails is to read
reviews by local trail maven Scott Turner found at ModernHiker.com
Some important notes: Please don't take
anything home except memories and photographs. All features are
protected, and disturbing or collecting is not allowed... even pine
cones. Leave any historical artifacts you might find alone and
report the location to park staff. An artifact “out of place” is
historical knowledge lost.
Trails are open to
foot traffic only. Dogs and mountain bikes are not allowed on
trails. However, dogs on a 6' leash are permitted on Myers Fire Road
which begins on the east side of Doane Valley Campground. (See
map.) Please note that only cash and checks are accepted for the day use
entrance fee.
