12th Annual After-Thanksgiving Turkey Waddle

Jack London State Historic Park’s annual Turkey Waddle Hike lets everyone get out and “shake their tail feathers” after a day of feasting and football. Celebrated on the day after Thanksgiving since 2014, this moderate 3.5-mile hike leads through mixed evergreens on the way to the majestic Ancient Redwood (also affectionately known as the Grandmother Tree).

“Waddlers” will gather at 10 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 28, in the Ranch parking lot to the right of the entrance kiosk. The hike will end at noon.

Great for all ages, participants should wear sturdy shoes and bring water. The trail includes uneven and rocky surfaces and involves some elevation gain and loss.

Tickets are $10, plus the $10 per car entry fee (up to nine passengers). The event will be cancelled in the event of rain.
