The 800-acre park is a memorial to writer-adventurer Jack London who lived on the 1,500 acre Beauty Ranch. Within the park is the cottage residence where he wrote books and short stories while overseeing various agricultural enterprises. A trail leads to Jack London's grave and to Wolf House, London's dream house, which was destroyed by fire in 1913. The park's upper parking lot provides access to a picnic area, London's cottage and stables. Hikes lead to London's dam and lake and through fir and oak woodlands to views of the
Valley of the Moon. Bicycle and horse riding are permitted on some of the trails. Glen Ellen is about 20 minutes north of
Sonoma.
