Summer 2003 Volunteers Tackle Portola State Park The Trail Companion Summer 2003 Volunteers Tackle Portola State Park By Dave Croker After a two-month layoff during the reorganization of the Trail Center, we were all eager to finally get out and dig in the dirt again. Our first project involved trail maintenance at Portola State Park on March 22, 2003. Several volunteers spent the day cleaning up downfalls and improving drainage on a couple trails at Portola State Park. We had a nice cool day in the redwoods that kept everyone happy and energetic, and it showed by the amount of work that we got done. On the Slate Creek Trail, a group used our big saw to remove several downed trees up to 18 inches in diameter. On the Pescadero Creek Nature Trail, volun- teers tackled a serious drainage problem that is caused by large amounts of runoff from a culvert on the road above. We dug out a huge diversion ditch to redirect water into a natural drainage and off of the trail. We also cut back a bunch of brush and made improvements to the trail tread to make the route safer to walk. Thanks to all who came out for a great day and to help get the Trail Center back on the right track. The work at Portola State Park continued on April 19. During the heavy rains of 1998, a huge slide took out a couple 100 feet of the Iverson Trail rendering it impassible and thus forcing the state park staff to close off the south section of the trail (south of Tip Crewmembers watch as David Alderman works to remove one Toe Falls). The Iverson Trail is one of the most popular trails in of many downfalls on the Tip Toe Falls Trail (March 22). Photo by Dave Croker.

Mountain cliffs meet crashing waves as vistas of sea and mountains whiz by. Most coastside visitors, blissfully unaware of the efforts to preserve such beauty stretching along the Pacific Coast, lack an identification and understanding of this special area and the flora and fauna it supports. To enjoy and appreciate its stunning views are enough without delving into the past and its legacy.

  • San Mateo County: Recreation Goals, Needs, and Trends; Facilities Inventory
    SAN MATEO COUNTY: RECREATION GOALS, NEEDS, AND TRENDS; FACILITIES INVENTORY BACKGROUND California SCORP (2002) San Mateo County is the 5th most urbanized county in the state at 1,575 people per square mile. San Francisco is the most densely populated at 16,526 people per square mile. The Public Opinions and Attitudes Survey (1997) showed that Californian’s top two recreational activities (in terms of participation) were walking for fitness and fun and visiting museums and historic sites. Picnicking and trail hiking were ranked 7th and 8th, respectively. Camping in developed sites and camping in primitive areas were ranked 13th and 20th (out of 20), respectively. However, when asked if they would increase their participation if good recreational opportunities became available, latent demand for camping in developed sites and trail hiking was extremely high, followed by wildlife viewing. People also showed support for government spending on those same activities. The results of the same survey administered in 2002 showed very similar results. When the participation data are combined with data on latent demand and public support, the top five most important recreational activities were 1) walking for fitness and fun, 2) beach activities, 3) wildlife viewing, 4) driving for pleasure, and 5) trail hiking. California State Parks McNee Ranch State Park contains 2 parking spaces as well as on-street parking, 1 portable restroom, and multi-use trails with 1 bench. Graywhale Cove State Beach contains 40 parking spaces, pedestrian trails, 2 portable restrooms, and 1 concession stand. San Mateo County Parks & Recreation Mid-Coast Recreational Needs Assessment (2002) The Mid-Coast area of San Mateo County encompasses an area of 6.1 square miles to the north of the City of Half Moon Bay.
