    Ox Trail leads along an abandoned rain line in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park from an (officially closed) rickety rail bridge across the San Lorenzo River and River Trail straight south. After about a mile a social foot path leads down to the left into the 'Garden of Eden' area with a popular small beach along the San Lorenzo River.

      Ox Road is a short 1.6-mile dirt road that ends at the Santa Cruz, Big Trees & Pacific Railway. The road feels like a wide trail, winding through the forest and passing by the Garden of Eden swimming hole along the San Lorenzo River. The trail is easy, with some elevation changes. Dogs, fires, and alcohol are not allowed. Parking is available off Highway 9.
