10,000 Years of California History Await You at the Anderson Marsh State Historic Park.
Located just 75 miles north of the San Francisco Bay in Lake County, the new Anderson Mash State Historic Park is the perfect place for history buffs, bird watchers, hikers and fishermen of all ages.
The park's 400 acres of tule marsh and 13,000 feet of lake and stream shoreline are teaming with wildlife. The remaining 470 acres of meadow, oak and manzanita contain historic and prehistoric evidence of human habitation dating back about 10,000 years.
What to Expect at Anderson Marsh
As a new and undeveloped state park, Anderson Marsh is the perfect place to get away from the bustle and noise of the city. Although it is a day use park, there are many private resorts and campgrounds nearby, and Clear Lake State Park (a campground facility + provides more hiking trails) is located about 25 minutes from Anderson Marsh.
