Limekiln Falls State Park

Limekiln Falls State Park is located 94 miles north of San Luis Obispo and about 55 miles south of Carmel.Hiking the Limekiln Falls Trail is like a walk through another world. It is dark — even on a cloudless day — and verdant green. The trail dives deep into the steepest coastal canyon in California, reaching an impressive 100 foot split waterfall.The Trails are well-maintained and short with modest elevation gain and a series of creek crossings to keep things interesting. As a bonus, you can then take a short walk out to the coast for a scenic rocky beach under the shadow of Highway 1.
