Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park

This state park, established in 1923, is part of the Redwoods National and State Park System.

We had a wonderful time hiking through this park. We hiked about 13 miles along the Miner’s Ridge Trail, Gold Bluffs Beach, Fern Canyon, and back via the James Irvine Trail. It was a tough long hike with lots of climbing but worth it. The views were amazing and the photos were beautiful.

Patrick's Point State Park

A little-known state park that offers a re-creation of a Yurok village, campsites and hiking trails to fine beaches.

Reviewed By northernneckinn - Tappahannock, United States

You can’t find a better hike than the rim trail through the Redwoods and mostly in the shade with amazing vistas of turbulent ocean and crashing waves appearing from time to time. Make sure you visit Wedding Rock and climb the stairs to the rock outpost overlooking the northern Californian coast! $7 for one vehicle and two people! Great value!

Humboldt Lagoons State Park

Reviewed By DoloresJacoby - West Palm Beach, United States

This Park is located just south of the Kuchel Visitor Center in Orick. I loved taking the road off the highway to access the lagoons and ocean in various areas. There is an information center, lots of parking and and beautiful water views. There’s so much to explore when you take your time. I found beautiful wildflowers in the area.

Sequoia Park Garden

Reviewed By spiderfacekate - Eureka, United States

Easily accessible to walk, hike, drive, or picnic. Just a few hundred feet into Sequoia Park, you'll feel like you're deep within a spectacular primeval forest. Close nearby is a park, zoo, and other attractions.

Fort Humboldt State Historic Park

Reviewed By GSPdog

Interesting place - local suggested it as a 15 min stop - stayed an hour and a half. Not many buildings, but well displayed - ranger is available for tours and did an EXCELLENT job. Fort was established to quell fighting between Native Indian Tribes and Settlers. Offered an unbiased discription of the "troubles" without being political or PC. Presented both sides. Spend the time to look at displays and you will find this to be a great little spot.
