Interpretive Panels

Eight new interpretive panels were installed in the summer of 2011 along the first two miles of the Big River Haul Road at Mendocino Headlands State Park. These panels help to tell the unique story of the Big River Section of this park.  Panel design and artwork was by artist Erica Fielder.

Large format hard copies are available of the text for each panel at the Mendocino District Headquarters of California State Parks, at 12301 N. Hwy 1, Mendocino, CA 95460
