About Henry W. Coe State Park

Henry W. Coe State Park covers roughly 87,000 acres of hills and ridges in the Diablo Range and is the largest state park in Northern California. Its quiet, lightly developed landscape suits backpackers, horseback riders, mountain bikers, and day hikers. Spring brings strong wildflower displays, while summers are hot and dry, so visitors should carry plenty of water. Camping ranges from drive-in sites to hike-in group camps, and the park also offers fishing at its ponds and lakes. Dogs are limited to a few areas near the Coe Ranch Entrance.
