Mendocino coast. More than 90 species of birds visit or live near Cleone Lake, a former tidal lagoon. During winter and spring, the nearby headland provides a good lookout for whale watching. The park is popular with hikers, joggers, equestrians and bicyclists. Fishing is also popular with trout in two freshwater lakes. The park has a wheelchair accessible nature trail and is located 3 miles north of
Fort Bragg on
