Samuel P. Taylor State Park has wooded countryside in the steep rolling hills of Marin County north of San Francisco. The park features a unique contrast of coast redwoods groves and open grassland. There is a creek that runs through the park. This park is small and not crowded.
The park features a variety of flowers and trees, including oak, tanoak, madrone, live oak, laurel and Douglas fir. California native wildflowers include buttercups, milkmaids, and Indian paintbrush.
The park is 15 miles west of San Rafael on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard.
There is no special permit required for an elopment ceremony. Daily park fees apply.
