nature reserve of
California, United States, located in
McKinleyville, an unincorporated area of Humboldt County. This area is just north of the
college town of

Mad River not far from where it enters the
Pacific Ocean. The reserve is dedicated to the preservation of the
western azalea (Rhododendron occidentale), whose pink and white flowers bloom in profusion each April and May.[2] It has a short self-guided nature trail with emphasis on plants of the north coast region. There is a picnic area available. The 30-acre (12 ha) property was acquired by the state in 1943.[3]
