Things To Do
Arcata Farmers Market
Check out the local farmers market Saturday morning from 9am- 2pm for a true Arcata experience. "The Arcata Plaza is the focal point of the small college town of Arcata. The grassy square is flanked by vintage shopping, badass cocktails, artisanal espresso, and outdoor hot tubs. We suggest starting your perfect Arcata day with yoga and ending it with a beer and an independent film."
Old Town Eureka
"Listed on the United States National Register of Historic Places, Old Town Eureka is the thriving cultural heart of the city of Eureka. Walk through streets lined with classic Victorian architecture, art galleries, boutiques, locally made food and craft cocktails. Or hike through our local redwoods and still get home in time for dinner."
Redwood National and State Park
"Whether you want to hike, bike, or drive through our redwoods, you can choose your own adventure. Our favorite hikes and rides take you through old-growth forests, fern canyons, and desolate beaches. And a scenic drive through the Avenue of the Giants will give you a taste not just of our trees, but our community" Biking: https://www.nps.gov/redw/planyourvisit/bikes.htm https://bigfootbicycleclub.wordpress.com/2009/10/13/lost-man-creek-trail/ Hiking: http://www.redwoodhikes.com/PrairieCreek/Miners.html Driving: http://avenueofthegiants.net/

The Arcata Community Forest
The Arcata Community Forest offers trails from easy to challenging and is friendly to hikers and bikers. Even the most accessible trails immediately sweep you from mundane world into a dreamscape of ferns, creeks, and towering redwoods. Stop by Arcata City Hall for a map or print one from the city's website. Our Favorite loop starts by the Playground and climbs though the canopy and creek beds on Trails #1, #2 and #3 before returning on the easy graded #9.
Lady Bird Johnson Grove Trail
The trail through Lady Bird Johnson Grove is one of the most popular in Redwood National Park. The 1.4 mile loop trail crosses a beautifully designed bridge, offers views of the ridge-top redwood forest and feels very secluded.
