Humboldt Redwoods State Park

Today Humboldt Redwoods spans 53,000 acres, an area almost twice the size of San Francisco. About one third, or 17,000 acres, of the park is old-growth redwood forest—the largest expanse of ancient redwoods left on the planet. This park offers one of the best places to see redwoods by car in the entire North Coast region: the 32-mile-long Avenue of the Giants. Good stops along the way include Founder’s Grove, with its fallen 362-foot Dyerville Giant, and the California Federation of Women’s Clubs Hearthstone, designed by famed architect Julia Morgan.

Arcata Marsh

The Arcata Marsh and Wildlife Sanctuary is home to the City of Arcata’s innovative wastewater treatment facility. The sanctuary is 307 acres, including freshwater marshes, salt marsh, tidal sloughs, grassy uplands, mudflats, brackish marsh, approximately 5 miles of walking and biking paths and an Interpretive Center.

Patricks Point State Park

Patrick's Point is a park located in the heart of California's coast redwood country. The one-square-mile park is densely packed with potential adventures. On a short walk around the perimeter of the park you can hunt for agates (semi-precious gemstones), explore tidepools, walk through a jungle of shrubs and trees as you peer out at seals, sea lions, and migrating whales. In the park's interior, you'll find a visitor center, a native plant garden and a reconstructed Yurok plank-house village.

Clam Beach County Park

Clam Beach is a Humboldt County Park just off Redwood Highway 101 near the city of McKinleyville. The beach is named for the plentiful razor clams that you can dig for.

Willow Creek China Flat Museum

See Bigfoot's footprint. The Willow Creek - China Flat Museum highlights the history of logging in and around Willow Creek, and is perhaps best known for its collection of materials on Bigfoot! Take a sentimental journey back to the days of the early pioneers of this beautiful mountain community as you browse through the museum's wonderful collection of things from the past. A part of the permanent collection is a complete replication of a miner's cabin.

Humboldt Lagoons State Park

Humboldt Lagoons State Park lies on the sandy, windswept edge of ocean and forest. Formed by the clash of two tectonic plates, it’s part of the largest lagoon system in the United States. Ranger Maurice Morningstar calls it “a string of pearls that lets you look back in time and see a process that continues today.”

Blue Lake Casino Hotel

Trinidad Head Lighthouse

Trinidad Head, a large domed prominence rising to a height of 380 feet, is connected to the mainland only on its northern end, thus forming the beautiful and natural Trinidad Bay on its eastern side. On the bluffs overlooking the bay, Trinidad, the oldest town on the northern California coast, was founded on April 8, 1850. Early on, the town was a vital link between ships anchored in the bay and miners testing their luck in the Klamath, Trinity, Salmon River, and Gold Bluff Mines. As the gold rush slowed, Trinidad Bay, like most bays along the Redwood Coast, became home to multiple sawmills. To aid vessels engaged in the lumber trade, a lighthouse was proposed for the ocean-facing side of the headland in 1854.
