Hendy Woods State Park
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hendy Woods State Park is a state park located in Mendocino County, California. The 845-acre park contains two groves of old growth Coast Redwood: Big Hendy (80 acres) and Little Hendy (20 acres). The Navarro River runs through the length of the park.
Hendy Woods was named after Joshua Hendy who built a large sawmill on the Navarro River. In 1958 California created a park to protect the remaining groves of redwoods.
