It's in Felton, a separate section of Henry Cowell State Park. Beautiful place to hike in the redwoods along a creek. 3.5 mile loop From main intersection in Felton go uphill on Felton Empire Road and look for sign LEY RD about 1/4 mile from main intersection in Felton. Entrance is on right on a curve just after that sign.
