Hike Description:

Annadel State Park is near Santa Rosa in Sonoma County. This is a loop hike on the Kenwood side of Annadel, starting from the Lawndale Rd trailhead. We'll hike up the Lawndale Trail to Ledson Marsh, then take the Marsh Trail to the junction with Two Quarry Trail where we'll have lunch. After lunch we'll continue on the Marsh Trail past Buick Meadow to the Ridge Trail which will take us back around the marsh. We'll take the Schultz Trail down to Schultz Rd, then hike down the road to get back to the Lawndale Trailhead. You can optionally shorten the hike to 6 or 7 miles by turning back from the marsh or lunch spot.
Sorry, dogs are not allowed on the trails at Annadel.
