A Special Note about Poison Oak Poison oak flourishes throughout the Santa Cruz Mountains, where it provides food and shelter for wildlife and aids in erosion control. It grows in the form of a bush or vine, and when leaves are present they are in groups of three with lobed edges. Autumn poison oak leaves turn a beautiful red and fall off, leaving bare stems. All parts of the plant produce an oil that causes a rash on most people. Learn to identify this plant, and stay on designated trails in order to minimize exposure. Campsites are available on a “site-specific” reservation system. Reservations are highly recommended between Memorial Day and Labor Day.
