Areas for picnics can be found throughout the reserve and offer a quiet respite to admire Montgomery Creek or do a bit of bird-watching. The reserve can be accessed by driving from both coastal Mendocino and inland Ukiah, where the road traces along a windy two-lanes, offering drivers a chance to survey the scenic panorama of the Redwood canopy – Coast and Sierra Redwood species primarily – along with fern, sorrel and tan oaks growing harmoniously intertwined.
