Limekiln State Park
The Park is currently CLOSED.
Update (July 18, 2024) – Limekiln State Park is CLOSED
Highway 1 remains closed between Dolan Point and Limekiln Creek. While motorists on Highway 1 can now drive to the Limekiln State Park entrance gate from the Cambria/San Simeon area, the park remains closed.
The anticipated full opening of Highway 1 at Regent's Slide is not until Fall of 2024.
The lack of access to the park caused by the multiple landslides has resulted in significant delays in critical infrastructure repairs. Access from the north on Highway 1 continues to be unavailable.
State Parks continues to work diligently to repair the infrastructure, restore utilities and reestablish staff in the Limekiln area. We apologize for any inconvenience and want to thank you for your understanding as we work to return to normal operations.For more information about USFS properties, please visit USFS - Los Padres National Forest - Big Sur Los Padres National Forest - Home (usda.gov)
