Home to the world's largest remaining contiguous old-growth coast redwood forest, this 53,000-acre park is a cathedral of giants. The Avenue of the Giants winds through 31 miles of towering trees, some over 300 feet tall and 1,000 years old. Rockefeller Forest contains the world's largest concentration of 300+ foot redwoods. The Eel River offers swimming and kayaking in summer. With over 100 miles of trails, you can experience the majesty of these ancient groves in relative solitude.
