California Citrus State Historic Park

Better late than Navel. Had a great visit during weekend. The park’s museum exhibits and interpretive features share the story of the citrus industry's role in the history when "Citrus was King" in California, Be sure to hike the short and sweet citrus groves. Enjoy the greenery and scents of different orange trees.

Definitely worth stopping. We took some time and walked around the museum and frolicked through the fields. There are gazebos, picnic tables, and benches to take in a lovely view of the numerous citrus trees and surrounding mountains. I would come here on a 1st date, walk the trail, or read a good book.

This is an especially lovely State Park. They support Circle types of citrus but you are not allowed to Pick Nor take any other fruit. They do have a stand across the street or you can purchase the fruit. You need to pay for parking and usually there's nobody at the guard shack so it's a self-pay honor System.

300 acres of citrus, including some exotic varieties. Easy walking trails with signs indicating varieties and some history of citrus growing in California. It should be noted that the small park museum is only open on weekends, Friday to Sunday.
