Hendy Woods State Park was founded in 1958 to protect some of the few remaining groves of coastal redwoods. Today, there are two redwood groves in the park, Big Hendy (80 acres) and Little Hendy (20 acres).
Ironically, the park is named after Joshua Hendy who built and operated one of the largest sawmills on the Navarro River.
We were on our way to the coast and only stopped for a short while, but we sure enjoyed the redwoods!
