This secluded canyon, home to many ferns, makes for an interesting hike.
An easy short walk through a lush , peaceful fern lined canyon . High walls . Very unique .Nothing but green ! Your feet will get a little wet. Hard to believe it’s right next to sandy Golds beach , which is also beautiful .

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.

Easy to get to and an easy stroll through a very beautiful grove of old growth redwoods. A piece of history that could have easily been lost , but has been preserved in this grove.

A beautiful and secluded beach where one can walk a long distance.
A peaceful, short walk through the dunes to a spectacular beach! Smooth sands, crisp ocean smell, and thunderous, crashing waves will greet YOU. When looking down the shore, way off in the distance, it seems to disappear in a mist.

As others have already said, the falls were underwhelming. The rest of the hike, however, was an immersion into the Redwoods. It was interesting to start with so many ripe blackberries that we were kind of full starting our walk, and we thought it was going to be like the Lady Bird grove hike at the beginning as there was a steady stream of people. All of them seemed to turn back at the falls, however, so we had the rest of the 2 mile walk to ourselves. Unique to this hike was the change in elevation both for us as we walked and in the redwood floor, allowing us to really experience their dramatic size. The ranger also told us about a perfect chimney (hollow through the trunk, though with living branches) which was tall enough that an elk had come inside to scratch its horns. We didn't see or hear much wildlife, but we experienced the total quiet of winds gently rustling through the trees throughout the hike. The walk took us about 2 hours, including lots of stops for photos & just admiring the forest. It does have a bit of elevation and tree roots, so watching your step is important. Thanks to other hikers for leaving good reviews encouraging us to try it for ourselves!
The most dramatic of the three falls found in the area.
