Castle Rock State Park, State park in San Mateo County, US.
Castle Rock State Park extends across steep forest terrain containing sandstone formations and diverse California native plant communities at 3000 feet elevation.
The California Department of Parks and Recreation established Castle Rock as protected land in 1968 following conservation efforts by local environmental groups.
The sandstone formations within the park contain numerous Native American pictographs and petroglyphs dating back several centuries.
The park maintains 34 miles of hiking trails and rock climbing routes, with parking available at the main entrance on Skyline Boulevard.
Castle Rock features a natural limestone cave system that provides essential habitat for multiple bat species native to the Santa Cruz Mountains.
