Where: 46902 Old Stage Road, Gualala
Come visit Mill Bend Preserve during Summer Second-Saturday Open Houses to learn about prehistoric Mendonoma, Gualala’s timber mill years, and RCLC’s current efforts to repair and rejuvenate the estuary and surrounding forests. Walk newly restored trails (sturdy shoes recommended), tour the pioneer-era Gualala Cemetery, and enjoy views and sights not publicly available before the community-supported acquisition of the 113-acre property in 2021.
Docents will be available to answer questions, suggest activities, and guide short walks on request.
Parking is available just inside the gate. From there, it’s a short walk to the Gualala Cemetery, two trailheads, and docent assistance. Limited parking is available at the Cemetery for those who need access accommodation. Picnic tables are available, leashed dogs are welcome, and bicycles are allowed on roadways.
