Sinkyone Wilderness
The rugged wilderness that once characterized the entire Mendocino Coast can still be explored and enjoyed in the Sinkyone Wilderness State Park. Since there are no main highways near the coast in this vicinity, the area has come to be called the “Lost Coast.”
Sinkyone Wilderness State Park is located within “Bear Country”. State Park regulations require that visitors store all food and scented items properly at all times.
