Description:Samuel P. Taylor State Park has wooded countryside in the steep rolling hills of Marin County north of San Francisco. The park features a unique contrast of coast redwoods groves and open grassland. The park features a variety of flowers and trees, including oak, tanoak, madrone, live oak, laurel and Douglas fir. California native wildflowers include buttercups, milkmaids, and Indian paintbrush. The most common animal in the park is the black-tailed deer. There are also raccoons, striped skunks and gray foxes. Silver salmon and steelhead trout migrate up Papermill Creek to spawn. For filming if using the Redwood Grove there is an additional day use fee of $225.00. Location-Directions: The park is 15 miles west of San Rafael on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard.
Usage Restriction:Bill's Trail, in its entirety, is closed for construction. The planned construction will improve recreational access for hikers, equestrians and mountain bikers. The trail will remain closed during the project construction period and a required trail hardening period. Access to Stairstep Falls will not be possible during this closure. Access to Barnabe Peak will continue to be available directly via Barnabe Fire Road or by Gravesite Trail to Barnabe Fire Road.
