Redwood National and State Park is the best place for families. The park is more than just the tallest and massive species of redwood trees. It also protects indigenous fauna, flora, cultural resources, grassland prairie, parts of rivers and other streams, and 60 km (37 miles) of pristine coastline. It is found along the coast of northern California in the United States. Redwood National Park and State Park was established on 1 January 1968 and is managed by the US National Park Service and the California Department of Parks and Recreation.
The park’s ecosystem protects a number of endangered animal species, such as the Tidewater Goby, Brown Pelican, Chinook Salmon, Bald Eagle, Northern Spotted Owl, and Steller’s Sea Lion. On 5 September 1980, the United Nations designated the park as a World Heritage Site and on 30 June 1983 as an International Biosphere Reserve, due to the rare ecosystem and cultural history found there.
The park has four developed campgrounds: Mill Creek in Del Norte Coast Redwoods States Park; Jedediah Smith in Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park, which together have 21 campsites; Elk Prairie in Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park with 72 campsites; and Gold Bluffs Beach with 25 campsites. These campgrounds have available facilities and amenities that include a nature centre, hook-ups, bookstore, restrooms, picnic area, river sites, several miles of trails, dump station, hiker/biker sites, fire pits, ranger-led walks, handicap access, junior ranger and young naturalists programmes, and evening campfire programmes, plus portable showers.
You can try some of the park’s popular recreation activities, such as horseback riding, mountain biking, and kayaking. The Smith and Klamath Rivers are best for fishing salmon and steelhead.
