Freshwater County Park is a mellow park just east of Eureka that has picnic and bbq areas, plenty of space to throw a frisbee or kick a ball, a volleyball court and many places where you can just chill out and relax. 
The park also has a children's playground but the swimming hole, sadly, has felt the effects of the recent drought and is currently dry.
There are restroom facilities at the park and a $5 day-use fee.
How to get there:
There are quite a few ways to get there depending on where you start.  Check out the map for the best way for you.
