Bothe-Napa Valley State Park is a state park of California, USA, preserving forested land in Napa Valley. It contains the farthest inland coast redwoods in a California state park.[1] The 1,991-acre (806 ha) park was established in 1960.[2]
In 2011 during the ongoing California budget crisis, this park and the adjacent Bale Grist Mill State Historic Park were among those targeted to be closed due to lack of funding. The Napa County Parks and Open Space District petitioned the state to operate the park in order to avoid closure.[3]
