About this spot

Russian Gulch State Park is known for the heavily forested Russian Gulch Creek Canyon, a headland that features the Punch Bowl, (a large collapsed sea cave with churning water), and a beach that offers swimming, tidepool exploring, skin diving and rock fishing. Inland, there is a 36-foot waterfall. Hikers enjoy miles of hiking trails. The park also has a paved three-mile bicycle trail.
