Henry Coe gives Santa Clara County a huge quiet backcountry
Henry W. Coe State Park protects wide Diablo Range hills, ridges, trails, and quiet open space east of Morgan Hill.
Henry W. Coe State Park is the Santa Clara County outing for people who want room. It sits east of Morgan Hill in the Diablo Range, and it feels much farther from city life than the map makes it look.
The park protects about 87,000 acres of hills and mountain ridges. It is the largest state park in Northern California. Visitors come for hiking, backpacking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and quiet time in open country.
The size is the part to respect. A short walk near the entrance is very different from a deep park route. Trails and dirt roads can be steep, and summer heat can make a modest plan feel harder.
Review State Parks information before visiting. Bring water, food, a map, and a route that fits your group.
