Overview
A brief introduction to Sugarloaf Ridge SP
Sugarloaf Ridge State Park is a state park in Northern California, United States. Located in the Mayacamas Mountains north of Kenwood, the park straddles the boundary between Sonoma and Napa counties. The park contains the 2,729-foot (832 m) Bald Mountain and the headwaters of Sonoma Creek including a 25-foot (8 m) tall seasonal waterfall. The park is also home to the volunteer-run Robert Ferguson Observatory. Camping, picnicking, horseback riding, mountain biking, stargazing, fishing and hiking are common attractions of Sugarloaf. The park boasts 25 miles of trails with trails ranging from less than a mile to 8.8 miles, and elevation gains reaching 2,500 feet.
The ridge has two main peaks, the western one being 1,939 feet (591 m) above sea level and eastern one being 2,265 feet (690 m). The East peak contains an extensive microwave antenna. This site was featured in several articles of the Napa Valley Sentinel.
Sugarloaf Ridge was one of the first parks to close under the California State Parks plan to close up to 70 of its 278 parks due to budget cuts. The closures were deemed necessary to achieve an $11 million reduction in the next fiscal year 2011/12, that amount increasing to $22 million in the following fiscal year 2012/13. The park was reopened by Team Sugarloaf in June 2012 to restore access to camping and hiking trails. Team Sugarloaf continues to operate the park.
The park's official address is 2605 Adobe Canyon Road, Kenwood, CA 95452.

Reviews
Camper reviews for Sugarloaf Ridge SP
Friendly staff, good hikes, easy summit with view
Good quality, excellent staffing and facilities for a State Park.
Hikes range from low impact, to 9+ mile 2000+elevation, from paved fire-road to single file forest path. Creek has water 90% of the year. Waterfall dries up mid summer. No cellular, and wifi is low-quality shared satellite pay-for-use. Great central field for kids to play, circle for biking but no grass. Call at 10am for a few "same-day" camping sites.
