The Hammond Trail, which stretches 5.5 miles from Arcata to Clam Beach, takes visitors over the beautiful Mad River, along the Mad River Bluffs and by a scenic vista point where seals can be spotted relaxing on the sand below. The trail also takes visitors through Hiller Park, a beautiful park in west McKinleyville.
For over 100 years, Rohner Park has been the center of many of the area's most memorable activities and celebrations. The park is home to Eel River Valley Little League, the Fortuna Rodeo, the city's skating rink, popular walking and hiking trails and a wide variety of events that bring family and friends together; including the annual carnival and more recently, Hops in Humboldt.
Located in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, the Ossagon Trail has an incredible payoff that takes less than two miles to reach. This trek is popular for both the journey and the destination and should be at the top of any adventurer's list of Humboldt County trails.
The Berry Glen Trail is an amazing hike in an area full of incredible trails and is one of our favorites when looking to enjoy some old-growth redwoods. One of its trailheads is connected to a popular Humboldt County point of interest and the other is near a waterfall, giving visitors the chance to experience a few of Humboldt's best attractions in one visit.
