Quiet Yucaipa state park with oak-shaded picnic areas, foothill trails, and a stargazing-friendly dark sky — a peaceful San Bernardino County escape.

The park has equestrian access, picnic areas, and a generally quiet feel that makes it a favorite for locals who want a real outdoor day without driving to the mountains.
