Park Brochure (updated 2018)

Keywords: Coastal; Stream / Creek; Trails; Trees / Tree Canopy / Tree Tunnel; Valleys; Wilderness

Site Condition: Good. In 2008, a lightning strike resulted in the low-intensity Orr Complex wildfire which scorched the perimeter of the park. The old groves have been left untouched with much of the perimeter regenerated. A few trees near the grove are observed having scorched bark. The reserve is located 15 miles east of the small town of Comptche and 13 miles west from Ukiah, past Orr's Mineral Hot Springs resort.
