Taking Your Subaru to Wildwood Canyon State Park

Trekking to Wildwood Canyon State Park for a weekend getaway requires extensive planning to make sure everything goes smoothly. Rather than throwing caution to the wind, we at Spreen Subaru have constructed a guide to make sure you’re protected and ready to hit the ground running. If you require accessories before launching toward your destination, head to our location for professional installation. 

Recreation Plans

Before you even consider loading up your gear into your Forester or Crosstrek, it’s crucial to determine what activities you’ll be participating in at Wildwood Canyon State Park. Fortunately, we have some recommendations for you to consider. For starters, there is an abundance of trails, so feel free to bring your mountain bike to cruise through the wilderness. Horseback riding is also offered nearby in case you’d like to truly immerse yourself in the great outdoors. For a 1.75-mile hike that allows you to view woodlands that are centuries old, head toward the McCollough-Oak Tree Loops for an unforgettable exploration. Lastly, this park is home to a variety of fauna, so feel free to watch the bears, red-tailed hawks, and California quail from a safe distance. 

Preparation

Now that you have a general idea of what you’ll be able to accomplish on site, let’s discuss the checklist required to set yourself up for success. For starters, we suggest packing a light jacket and blankets, since the area can get cold when the sun sets. It’s also crucial to include a first aid kit and extra food to ensure you’re covered in an emergency. Once you have your Ascent or Legacy loaded up, it’s imperative that you set a route, especially if you’re traveling from a long distance. This way, you can pass a gas station while going to and from the destination. Fortunately, newer Subaru models come with onboard navigation systems that allow you to drop pins on the nearest fueling and charging locations. 

Accessories

While it’s not completely necessary, decking your car out with new accessories can amplify your time spent at Wildwood Canyon State Park. For instance, splash guards will prevent you from kicking up gravel and potentially harming your car’s paint job. If you plan on hitting the bike trails, it’s crucial that you spring for a roof rack to safely secure your secondary transportation on top of the sedan or SUV. For your smaller items, a Thule® cargo carrier will keep them locked and shielded from the elements. Or, you can spring for a Thule® roof awning if you plan to set up base camp and need to be shielded from the sun. Do you intend to stay for the entire day? We recommend purchasing a wireless charger to make sure your mobile device doesn’t run out of battery. To get the process started, view our online accessories to see the features that await you. Then, you can contact us to schedule an appointment.
