Welcome!

You've reached the website of the Palomar Mountain State Park's educational and interpretive activities provided through Friends of Palomar Mountain State Park. Our objective is to make your visit to the park as enjoyable and fulfilling as it can be.

Here you'll learn all about the park's interesting history and features, the many things you can do — hiking, camping, fishing — and how you can support the park so that other people can discover what a beautiful treasure we have so close to home.

If you've never been to Palomar Mountain State Park, why not set some time aside to come visit and "get away from it all"? We guarantee you'll be back!
