Azalea State Natural Reserve is a state nature reserve of California, USA, dedicated to the western azalea (Rhododendron occidentale). These pink and white flowers bloom in profusion each April and May.[1] The reserve offers a short self-guided nature trail with emphasis on plants of the north coast region. There is a picnic area available. The 30-acre (12 ha) property was acquired by the state in 1943.[2]
Other adjacent visitor attractions include Trinidad State Beach, Patrick's Point State Park, and Fort Humboldt State Historic Park.
