  • State Parks Along California's North Coast Natural Beauty Along the Coast
    State Parks Along California's North Coast Natural Beauty Along the Coast California State Parks along the northern California coast offer visitors a chance to enjoy spectacular beauty with rugged beaches and redwood forests. Benbow Lake State Recreation Area (HUMBOLDT COUNTY), located two miles south of Garberville on Highway 101, has more than 600 acres of forest, 32,000 square feet of water, and a half-mile of beach. It's the perfect place for hiking, swimming, fishing, sailing and horseback riding. Occupying a mile of the South Fork of the Eel River, the park has three miles of hiking trails and a campground. Canoes and paddleboats may be available for rent from a concessionaire in the park. During the summer, the park is home to Shakespeare and art festivals. For more information, call (707) 923-3238 or (707) 247-3318. As with all visits to California State Parks, it's always a good idea to call before your visit to check on conditions. Richardson Grove State Park (HUMBOLDT COUNTY), located eight miles south of Garberville on Highway 101, features a forest of towering coast redwoods along the South Fork of the Eel River. The park is one of the oldest state parks. It was acquired in the 1920s and named after the state's 25th governor, Friend W. Richardson. There are developed campsites and a visitor center, built from an old lodge. The park is popular for fishing, with winter runs of silver and king salmon. For more information, call the park at (707) 247-3318. Sinkyone Wilderness State Park (HUMBOLDT and MENDOCNIO COUNTIES)\ Access to the park from the south is 50 miles north of Fort Bragg via Highway 101 and County Road 431 to Usal Beach.

  • Introducing Redding and Shasta Cascade Find Any Adventure, Any Day
    Introducing Redding and Shasta Cascade Find Any Adventure, Any Day Endless Adventure Awaits! The majestic region of northeastern California, abundantly scattered with lakes, rivers, mountains and historic mining towns offers travelers unforgettable fun and adventure. Only two hours north of Sacramento and three hours northeast of San Francisco, Shasta Cascade’s bustling hub city of Redding is just the starting point for journeys into one of America’s most spectacular and pristine regional destinations. Boasting 300+ days of beautiful weather a year, this area offers boundless outdoor recreation with magnificent landscapes and breathtaking vistas. From towering volcanoes, alpine ranges, and glaciers, to waterfalls, lush forests, pristine lakes, and roaring rivers, this travel destination is one of a kind. Called the “Gem of the U.S. Trails System” by the San Francisco Chronicle, with more than 200 miles of hiking, biking, ATV, and equestrian trails all within a 15-mile radius of the city center, Redding is an outdoor adventurer’s dream. And with an abundance of nearby lakes, rivers, and streams, year-round kayaking, paddle boarding, boating, and fishing are available here. The Sacramento River runs through town, so is it any surprise that Forbes Magazine listed Redding among North America's Top Ten Fly-fishing Towns? Not for us. In addition to the trails and the waters, California’s Shasta Cascade contains seven national forests, eight national and state parks, and several mountain ranges, including the Trinity Alps, the northern Sierra Nevada, and the California Cascade range. The Shasta Cascade also boasts two massive glaciated volcanoes: the dormant 14,179 foot Mt.

  • Boundary Enlargement for California Coastal National Monument
    THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary For Immediate Release January 12, 2017 BOUNDARY ENLARGEMENT OF THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL NATIONAL MONUMENT - - - - - - - BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA A PROCLAMATION Through Proclamation 7264 of January 11, 2000, President Clinton established the California Coastal National Monument (monument) to protect the biological treasures situated on thousands of unappropriated or unreserved islands, rocks, exposed reefs, and pinnacles owned or controlled by the Government of the United States within 12 nautical miles of the shoreline of the State of California. Presidential Proclamation 9089, issued on March 11, 2014, expanded the monument to include the Point Arena-Stornetta Public Lands, a landscape of coastal bluffs and shelves, tide pools, onshore dunes, coastal prairies, and riverbanks, and the mouth and estuary of the Garcia River. In addition to providing vital habitat for wildlife, these coastal lands were critical for the native peoples who first lived along the California Coast, and they continue to be treasured by modern generations. Six other spectacular areas along the California Coast contain significant scientific or historic resources that are closely tied to the values of the monument. Like the protections afforded by prior proclamations, protection of Trinidad Head, Waluplh-Lighthouse Ranch, Lost Coast Headlands, Cotoni-Coast Dairies, Piedras Blancas, and Orange County Rocks and Islands would protect and preserve objects of historic or scientific interest on the California Coast. Trinidad Head About 30 miles north of Eureka lies the majestic and culturally important promontory known as Trinidad Head. The tip of Trinidad Head encompasses several prominent historic sites along with the rocky ledges that provide their setting, such as the Trinidad Head Light Station, which first operated in 1871 and is still active today.

We ask that you deliver on that promise by preserving the Transportation Enhancements, Safe Routes to School and Recreational Trails programs. Funding for bicycling and walking currently represents only about 1.5% of all federal transportation funding, but bicycling and walking represent 12% of all transportation trips. We are very concerned about the fate of these programs as Congressman John Mica, Chair of the House Transportation & Infrastructure Committee, has publicly stated that his transportation bill will make funding for bicycling and walking optional. Without dedicated funding, critical federal funding for bicycling and pedestrian facilities and projects will be decimated. Prior to 1992, bicycling and walking projects were eligible for federal transportation funding but had no dedicated funds. All states combined spent just $2 million per year on these projects.
