Sam McDonald County Park, County park in La Honda, California.
Sam McDonald County Park spans 867 acres across two distinct terrains: a redwood forest in the northwest and open ridge grasslands in the southeast.
Following Sam McDonald's death in 1957, Stanford University received 400 acres of his land, which San Mateo County purchased in 1958 for $67,000.
The park maintains Jack Brook Horse Camp, which serves as a central location for equestrians exploring the extensive trail network throughout the grounds.
Located at 13435 Pescadero Creek Road in Loma Mar, the park offers multiple trails connecting to Memorial County Park and Portola Redwoods State Park.
The park features elevated points providing clear views of Pescadero Creek valley, Butano Ridge, and the Pacific Ocean from its southeastern section.
