About Indio Hills Palms Park Property

This state-managed property lies in canyons east of Palm Springs, along Thousand Palms Road. Its main draw is several stands of native California fan palms that grow in unusual numbers here, fed by groundwater tied to a fault line. The land adjoins the Coachella Valley Preserve. Access is not signposted, so visitors are told to phone the Salton Sea Sector Office or the Ranger Office for directions. Dogs are not permitted. Horseback riding and covered wagon tours are among the listed activities.
