The Lawndale Trail offers a lesser-known gateway into Annadel State Park, starting on the Kenwood side and winding through shaded canyons and quiet forest. Noted by the Sonoma County Regional Parks Foundation and recommended in local hiking guides, this trail is especially serene, with fewer crowds than the main entrances. It’s a favorite for birdwatchers and wildflower seekers, and showcases a different perspective on Annadel’s striking geology and plant life.
