About Happy Camp Canyon

Happy Camp Canyon Regional Park offers visitors 12.5 miles of trails in a 3,000 acre wilderness area frequented by hikers, equestrian riders, and mountain bikers. The open grasslands and deep forests are abundant with wildflowers and wildlife including rabbits, bobcats and golden eagles. The park is underlain by complex geology ranging from deep water shale outcroppings to oyster and clam rich shale and sandstones. This is a passive, natural open space park with no support facilities and is managed through a joint powers authority (JPA) called Mountains Recreation & Conservation Authority.
