Activities and facilitiesThe Park’s shady trails offer many miles for hikers, runners, and horseback riders to explore. The Alambique Trail leads from the parking area, through Alambique Flat, and up to Skyline. From the Park’s west gate, a segment of the Bay Area Ridge Trail’s Skyline Trail connects to nearby Huddart County Park.
Wunderlich is a rural park. Water and restrooms are available in the parking area. There are no picnic facilities or reservation areas.
Boarding and riding facilities at Folger Stable are operated through a lease agreement; for information, visit parks.smcgov.org/wunderlich-park-activities.
Wunderlich County ParkNestled 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.
Wunderlich features the magnificent Folger Stable, once part of the estate of the Folgers Coffee family. Designed by famed architect Arthur Brown, Jr., designer of San Francisco’s War Memorial Opera House and Ferry Building, the stable is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Ja

Natural featuresAlambique Creek crosses the Park, which also includes a number of springs.
The cool, lush, second-growth redwood groves and mixed evergreen forest are contrasted with areas of hot, dry chaparral. At the Park’s lowest level, a foothill woodland includes white valley oak, black oak, and California laurel.
Visitors may see black-tailed deer, raccoons, squirrels, brush rabbits, lizards, and less commonly bobcats, coyotes, and gray foxes. Commonly seen birds include wrentits, acorn woodpeckers, chickadees, towhees, scrub jays, and Steller’s jays.
