Henry W. Coe State Park—just east of Morgan Hill—is Northern California’s largest state park and a major draw for hikers, cyclists, and outdoor enthusiasts. Covering more than 87,000 acres, its steep ridges, quiet canyons, and oak-covered hillsides offer a rugged, unspoiled setting for long hikes, backpacking trips, and wildlife viewing.
The park’s size and limited amenities mean visitors should come prepared with water, maps, and proper gear, especially in remote backcountry areas where cell service is sparse. Camping is available in designated locations for those looking to stay overnight.
