Redwood
Forest Travel PlannerRedwood National and State Parks are home to some of the world's tallest trees: old-growth coast redwoods. They can live to be 2000 years old and grow to over 300 feet tall. Spruce, hemlock, Douglas-fir, berry bushes, and sword ferns create a multiple canopied understory that towers over all visitors. The parks' mosaic of habitats include prairie/oak woodlands, mighty rivers and streams, and 37 miles of pristine Pacific coastline. Cultural landscapes reflect American Indian history. The more recent logging history has led to much restoration of these parks.
Three
California state parks and the National Park Service unit represent a
cooperative management
effort of the National Park Service and California Department of Parks
and Recreation. They are Prairie Creek
Redwoods State Park, Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park, Jedediah Smith
Redwoods State Park, and Redwood National Park, comprising 45 percent
of all the old-growth redwood forest remaining in California.
