Wunderlich County Park Nestled on a hillside just west of the Town of Woodside, the rustic serenity of Wunderlich County Park is reminiscent of an earlier era. The Park’s largely undeveloped 942 acres include beautiful stands of mixed redwoods, madrones, and oaks, steep hills, and lovely open meadows — all crossed with trails for hikers and equestrians.
