Huddart
A San Mateo County Park
Huddart’s 974 acres of redwood and fir forests are
attractive to hikers, equestrians, and picnickers. Many
miles of trails give visitors the chance to pass through
cool riparian corridors, traverse steep hillsides, and
enjoy views of the Bay.
Just past the Town of Woodside on King’s Mountain
Road, this stunning forest park and its group picnic
areas and shelters provide a wonderful rural setting for
group events and camping.

The parks represent our region’s wondrously diverse
natural settings, from rugged tidepools, lush mountain
forests, and remote campsites to Bayfront shoreline,
sunny picnic areas, and popular playgrounds.
You can volunteer to help rangers protect and
improve parklands and serve park visitors.
Hiking and horseback riding are popular on Huddart’s
extensive trail system. A segment of the Bay Area Ridge
Trail connects to nearby Wunderlich County Park.
The Park is dominated by majestic second-growth
coast redwood forest and mixed evergreen forest. In
addition to the redwoods — and the stumps that
provide evidence of the logging era — forests include
tanoak, madrone, California laurel, coast live oak, and
Douglas fir. In the cool shade below, sword fern, and
redwood sorrel offer cover for banana slugs.
To make reservations, visit www.SMCoParks.org or call
650-363-4021.
The San Mateo County Parks Foundation raises
funds to improve the quality of County Parks for our
community. For information, visit www.SupportParks.org.
Friends of Huddart and Wunderlich Parks
(HuddartWunderlichFriends.org) and the Volunteer
Horse Patrol (smcvhp.org) promote protection and
enjoyment of this park.
On sunny slopes, the contrasting thick brush of the
Park’s chaparral areas is characterized by native plants
such as manzanita, chamise, chaparral pea, and yerba
santa.
Other common plants include California lilac, toyon,
and wood rose. Wildflowers include sticky monkeyflower,
western hound’s tongue, Indian warrior, and Fremont’s
star lily.
Visitors may see black-tailed deer, raccoons, squirrels,
brush rabbits, lizards, and less commonly bobcats,
coyotes, and gray foxes. Commonly seen birds include
wrentits, acorn woodpeckers, chickadees, towhees,
scrub jays, and Steller’s jays.
