Sue-meg State Park: Simona Carini

Sue-meg State Park, formerly Patrick's Point, has beautiful views of the ocean on the Rim Trail. Although a fairly small park, there are trails winding through the redwoods and along the coast, with a striking view of Agate Beach on the north end of the park. If trails are not your favorite running surface (although many of the trails are very easy to run), there are paved roads throughout the park. There is parking outside the park, but there is a fee to enter. It is a great location for a picnic.
