From jct Hwy 12 & Hwy 29: Go 1-1/2 mi N on Hwy 29, then 2-1/2 mi E on Imola Ave (exit 16).
2 miles away from downtown Napa. If you are looking for a non-paved hiking trail and you are near the area… we highly recommend this park. I wish I had more time to explore the other trails. Great views from the ridge line on Buckeye Trail of Napa. Nice quick climb. But I heard Skyline Trail was better and I hiked a small portion and I agree.
$6 per car load (up to 8 people). Additional cost if there are more then 8.
Skyline Trail is close to 5 hour loop. Supposedly you can see Golden Gate on a clear day from the trail.
Great hikes for all levels, easy parking with a 6 Dollar fee. Great views from Napa Valley.
Excellent park and would come here again.
This is a great spot to go hiking if you are here on a long weekend and need to kill some time before heading out to wineries.
Parking is $6 for cars up to something like 8 people. Cards are accepted.
I only hiked here, but there are other facilities including RV camping, tent camping, dog run, mountain biking, and disc golf. Note that dogs are not welcome on trails but are okay in the camping sections of the park.
A full end to end hike of the park around the perimeter trails will take upwards of 5-6 hours.
The Western trails are a mixture of wooded and exposed trails. Eastern trials are really exposed and can be VERY steep in sections - I would attempt these only if you are in very good shape and have lots of water. Trails down the center of the park are a little more forgiving for those with children. Trails are probably not suitable for those with strollers.
Great views and would come here again if I'm in the area.
I loved our recent hike in the park, although I was expecting more beautiful views for the Napa Valley, overall the experience was pretty good. Also, I was expecting kinda lake in the middle of the trail, but it turned out to be a small pond, nothing spectacular. Anyways, we spent amazing time, climbed another 150 floors and made another 20K steps, so 😂 And we met a few beautiful deers - fearless and young! And a couple of fluffy coyotes. Next time though I’ll try to find a better trail then Lake Marie via Skyline 🤷♀️ Btw - I still wonder what are those ruins that you meet here and there on the trail? 😍
I was at the park with the SCA event (intent search SCA medieval reenactment) and found the park to be beautiful. I took a small hiking but the place has many miles to explore. Plenty of wildlife especially birds with a healthy population of turkeys. The park staff is great. Nice and courteous. Highly recommend to exploring the park. Rumor has it, developers want to develop in the land for low income housing. Say no! Go support this park!!
