Annadel State Park
Featured hike
Mile:
0.0: Begin from the middle of the parking lot, uphill on the W. Richardson Trail.
After about 200 feet on a fire road, turn right onto Steve's "S" Trail.
1.0: The trail ends at a junction with the W. Richardson Trail. Turn right.
1.3: Junction. Turn right onto North Burma Trail.
2.2: North Burma Trail bends left to a junction. Turn left onto Live Oak Trail.
3.0: Junction. Bear left onto Rough Go Trail.
3.4: Junction. Turn left onto Lake Trail.
3.9: Lake Trail sweeps right, continuing its loop around the lake, and a trail
(no longer on the park map) breaks off to the left. Make a soft left, and you're
once again on W. Richardson Trail.
4.2: Continue to the left on W. Richardson Trail.
4.4: Junction with North Burma Trail, again. Stay to the right on the fire road,
and retrace your steps back to the junction with Steve's "S" Trail.
4.7: Junction with Steve's "S" Trail. Continue to the right, downhill
on W. Richardson Trail.
5.4: Junction with Two Quarry Trail departing on the right. Continue to the
left on W. Richardson Trail.
6.0: Junction with Steve's "S" Trail, again. You can walk the short
distance back to the trailhead on the fire road, but I prefer the path on the
right, which descends a flight of steps, then ends at the south end of the parking
lot.
6.2: Back at the trailhead.
Getting there:
From US 101 in Sonoma County exit 488B onto CA 12. Drive east on CA 12 toward
Sonoma, for 1.5 miles, then turn left on Farmer's Lane. After about 0.7 miles,
turn right onto Montgomery Drive. Drive east 3 miles, then turn right onto Channel
Drive. After less than 0.1 mile, continue straight when the road makes a sharp
turn right toward Spring Lake. Drive into the park, stop and pay the entrance
fee at the ranger station, then continue to the parking lot at the end of the
road.
