Arcata Community Forest

A beautiful 600-acre forest of small redwoods and ferns.

You could spend as short or long a time as you want meandering around the multiple connecting trails here. Gorgeous big trees and lots of stumps to climb and fallen trees to balance on to bring a little fun with kids. Dog friendly!

Not much bad one could say about the sanctuary. wonderful hiking trails, great trail maps, very helpful and pleasant staff in the visitor center. All sorts of interesting birds to see any time of day or year. Clean air and abundant wildlife, prefect flat walking area. Peaceful with benches everywhere you need one.

Humboldt Bay National Wildlife Refuge Complex

Reviewed By mrt1955 - Healdsburg, United States

Were looking for a place to hike near Fortuna and found this place. What a pleasant surprise. Got to see lots of Egrets and a couple of Herons and some otters. Very pleasant walk and the landscape colors are beautiful. This is a great place to visit. Bring your binoculars so you can see everything crystal clear.
