Welcome to Van Damme State Park
Van Damme State Park, beginning at the mouth of the Little River, has a protected cove for divers, a fern canyon for hikers, and a unique forest of Mendocino pygmy cypress. The climate here is temperate year-round. Winter rains and cool summer fogs that usually burn off by mid-morning provide the moisture necessary for the thriving coastal redwoods. Prepare for changeable weather by dressing in light layers.Visitors can enjoy hiking fern canyons, miles of trails, horse camping, a 36-foot waterfall, scuba diving, bluff-top picnicking, camping and a bicycle trail, among many choices. Van Damme habitats include marine, coastal beach, coastal bluff terrace, pygmy forest, redwood forest and riparian, with wetlands areas farther inland.
