The Rincon (Spanish for bend in the river), a pretty place to pull out for a picnic and some hiking, is part of Henry Cowell State Park and is the last chance to exit easily on public property before Santa Cruz.

Recently the county has announced that woody debris will no longer be cleared from county streams in an effort to restore our nearly extinct steelhead popul... |
