Sue-meg State Park

4150 Patricks Point Dr · Trinidad, CA

Why you should go…

Renamed Sue-meg in 2021 to restore its Yurok name, this coastal park sits on a forested headland with short trails leading to dramatic overlooks like Wedding Rock. Tide pools, whale-watching viewpoints and a re-created traditional Yurok village add cultural depth to the scenery. Sitka spruce forest covers much of the park between the ocean lookouts.

Good to know

General sport & outdoor guidance

Habits that pay off across this whole category, not rules for this one venue. Always check the official site for the specifics.

  • Weather calls the shots

    Check the forecast the morning of and keep an indoor backup in your pocket for the day it turns.

  • Shoes, water, sun cover

    The three things that decide whether you last the whole outing or cut it short after an hour.

  • Parking and launches fill early

    On a nice weekend, lots and trailheads are often full by mid-morning.

  • Daylight shrinks in shoulder season

    Spring and fall visits need an earlier start than the same trip in July.
