Samuel P. Taylor State Park

Samuel P. Taylor State Park is a redwood and creek park in Marin County, California, offering shady walks along Lagunitas Creek and hikes to Barnabe Peak. The park provides accessible parking, accessible restrooms, and paved accessible routes within the day-use and campground areas. An accessible picnic area is available, and the Cross Marin Trail — a paved multi-use trail that runs through the park — offers a relatively level, accessible surface suitable for wheelchairs and mobility devices. Accessible campsites are available for reservation, and service animals are permitted throughout the park.

The California State Parks accessibility page for this park lists specific accessible features including accessible parking spaces, accessible restrooms, and accessible routes connecting key facilities. The park accepts the California Explorer Vehicle Day Use Annual Pass and the Golden Poppy Pass, which can reduce entry costs for eligible visitors. Dogs are permitted in the picnic day-use area, campground, and on the Cross Marin Trail, making it a welcoming destination for visitors with service or support animals.

Visitors report that the paved Cross Marin Trail is a highlight for those with mobility considerations, offering a flat, smooth surface through the redwoods. Some visitors note that while the main day-use areas are accessible, the backcountry and hillside trails involve significant elevation changes and uneven terrain. Campers with accessibility needs are advised to book early, as accessible sites fill quickly, particularly on weekends.
