We couldn't be more grateful to Travel + Leisure for recognizing Bothe - Napa Valley State Park as the BEST state park in Northern California!

Tucked away in the heart of Napa Valley, Bothe is home to towering redwoods, breathtaking hiking trails, peaceful camping experiences, and so much natural beauty waiting to be explored.

For those of us who know and love this park, it's no secret just how special it is. We're thrilled to see Bothe receive this well-deserved national recognition!

Now it's your turn to experience it! Napa Valley locals who haven't visited in a while or adventure seekers looking to planning your next weekend getaway, there's never been a better time to explore Bothe! Lace up your hiking boots, pack a picnic, or book a cozy yurt and come see for yourself why this park is so special.

A record-breaking night for our Napa Valley State Parks!

What an unforgettable evening at our annual Harvest Dinner & Auction! From gathering with an incredible community of supporters to celebrating the remarkable legacy of Bill Dyer, this year’s event was truly one for the books.

We are beyond grateful to everyone who helped make this evening possible. Your support allows us to continue preserving, protecting, and enhancing these treasured places for generations to come.

Here’s a little look back on our evening. Thank you for showing up for our parks!
