Alt Text Map of Redwood National and State Parks in California. Park grounds are noted in varied shades of green, which stretch long and thin along the coast of the blue Pacific Ocean, and surrounding lands are indicated in white and pale yellow. Extended Description US Highway 101, shown in brown, originates at the top of the map, with a note, “To Oregon, 10 miles (16 kilometers).” Following it south, US Highway 101 intersects with State Road 197, also labeled North Bank Road, and then Lake Earl Drive. North Bank Road runs southeast past Ruby Van Deventer County Park, which has a campground, before ending at US Highway 199. Lake Earl Drive runs southwest, intersecting with Lower Lake Road. Lower Lake Road runs north, leading to Tolowa Dunes State Park, which has a primitive campsite along Kellogg Road. Lake Earl Drive continues south, passing Lake Earl and its associated State Wildlife Area, then connects with Old Mill Road, which runs northwest to the Lake Earl State Wildlife Area Headquarters and passes the southern unit of Tolowa Dunes State Park. Following US Highway 101 east of Lake Earl, it intersects with Elk Valley Road. To the west, Elk Valley Road leads to Florence Keller County Park, which has a campground, and Lake Earl Drive. To the east, it connects with US Highway 199, then runs south to Howland Hill Road. Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park and US Highway 199 US Highway 199 runs east from US Highway 101, past Elk Valley Road and through the northern half of Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park. Within the park, US Highway 199 continues passes the unpaved Walker Road; Simpson-Reed Grove, which has an interpretive trail; and North Bank Road before reaching the Hiouchi Visitor Center. The visitor center has wheelchair access and a picnic area, and the nearby Jededuah Smith site has wheelchair access, a picnic area, fishing, interpretive trail, and campground. East of the visitor center and the community of Hiouchi, US Highway 199 intersects with South Fork Road, which in turn immediately intersects with Douglas Park Road. Douglas Park Road runs west past USFS boat access, connecting with Howland Hill Road. Howland Hill Road is unpaved and runs to the southwest, passing trails that lead to Stout Grove and the Grove of Titans, which parallel Howland Hill Road, and another trail heading southeast to the Little Bald Hills backcountry campsite (free permit required). A note in red indicates that motorhomes and trailers are not advised on Howland Hill Road. South Fork Road meanwhile snakes southeast, following the South Fork Smith River past Smith River National Recreation Area and Six Rivers National Forest to Big Flat Campground. From South Fork Road, US Route 199 heads northeast, leading past the community of Gasquet, which contains the Smith River National Recreation Area Visitor Center, then continues east to Panther Flat Campground and Grassy Flat Campground. The highway continues east off the map near a note reading, “To Oregon Caves National Monument (NM) 63 miles (101 kilometers) and Grants Pass 77 miles (124 kilometers).” Crescent City and US Highway 101 Along the Coast Back near the Pacific coast on US Route 101, the highway heads southwest, intersecting with Washington Boulevard and into Crescent City. Washington Boulevard runs west, intersecting with Northcrest Drive, and leading past Castle Rock to Point St. George. Crescent City limits, noted in ochre yellow, contain several points of interest: a Bookstore and the Park Headquarters at 2nd and K Streets is noted with a green callout box, and a pier with wheelchair access and fishing is noted with a black dot at the city’s southern tip, while Battery Point Lighthouse is found just offshore of this point. South of Crescent City, US Highway 101 follows the coast, connecting with a short length of road labeled Enderts Beach Road.

Drury Scenic Parkway,” and leads to Ah-Pah, which has an interpretive trail; Big Tree Wayside, which is wheelchair-accessible; the unpaved Cal-Barrel Road (trailers prohibited); Prairie Creek Visitor Center, with a picnic area, interpretive trail, and wheelchair access; and Elk Prairie, with a picnic area and campground, on a short spur road. The east branch of the highway runs along the east side of the park, reconnecting south of Elk Prairie. Interspersed throughout the park is a complex network of trails, many of which link up with the Coastal Trail in the west. Following US Highway 101 south, it intersects with an unpaved road that runs east to Lost Man Creek, which has a picnic area and wheelchair access, though trailers are not advised; and then Davison Road, which runs west to Elk Meadow and Trillium Falls Trail, which also has a picnic area and is wheelchair access. Davison Road continues northwest, unpaved beyond this point (trailers prohibited), back into Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park, then follows the coast north to Gold Bluffs Beach (reservation required), which has a picnic area, campground, and fishing; and Fern Canyon, where reservations are also required. South of Davison Road, US Highway 101 passes Berry Glen Trail, then reaches an unpaved road that runs west to the Coastal Trail. It then intersects Bald Hills Road (motorhomes and trailers not advised), which snakes east into Redwood National Park, leading to Redwood Creek Trailhead, which has trailer parking, a picnic area, and a permit requirement for overnight travel; and Lady Bird Johnson Grove, which has a picnic area and interpretive trail. From here the highway continues southeast to the eastern boundary of the park, where it reaches Redwood Creek Overlook, which has a picnic area; the unpaved Tall Trees Access Road (reservation required); and Dolason Prairie, which also has a picnic area. Southeast of Dolason Prairie, Bald Hills Road becomes unpaved, leading to Childs Hill Prairie, Schoolhouse Peak, and a trail that curls southwest to Lyons Ranch. It continues unpaved off the east side of the map with a note reading “To Weitchpec 37 miles (60 kilometers).” A trail from Redwood Creek Trailhead heads south along Redwood Creek to Elam Camp and 44 Camp. South for 44 camp, trails lead to Tall Trees Trail with an interpretive trail through Tall Trees Grove. From here, Tall Trees Access Road, by permit only, heads northeast to intersect Bald Hills Road. Dolason Prairie Trail heads due west to intersect Bald Hils at Dolason Prairie which has a picnic area. Emerald Ridge Trail heads southeast along Redwood Creek. Back at US Route 101, the highway continues south of Bald Hills Road, leading to Orick Horse Trailhead and the community of Orick. It then cuts west toward the coast, leading to the Kuchel Visitor Center, which has trailer parking, an interpretive trail, wheelchair access, and a picnic area; and Redwood Creek, which has a picnic area and wheelchair access. It runs south past Freshwater Lagoon, then exits Redwood National Park and heads into neighboring Humboldt Lagoons State Park, with a picnic area just past the park boundary and at the northern tip of Stone Lagoon. It then runs southeast around the lagoon to the Chah-pekw O’ Ket’-toh Visitor Center, which has fishing and a boat launch, on the east side of Stone Lagoon. On the west side is Stone Lagoon Boat-in Camp. US Highway 101 continues south past Dry Lagoon Beach, then enters Harry A. Merlo State Recreation Area and skirts around Big Lagoon, reaching Big Lagoon Beach and County Park, which has fishing, a picnic area, campground, and boat launch, on the southern shore of the lagoon. The highway then continues south into Sue-meg State Park, which has a picnic area, interpretive trail, campground, fishing, and wheelchair access, then reaches the northern end of a side road that runs parallel to both the highway and the Pacific coast. Still trundling south, US Highway 101 passes Trinidad State Beach, with fishing and a boat launch, and the town of Trinidad before continuing off the bottom edge of the map near a note, “To Eureka, 21 miles (33 kilometers).” Legend A scale in the bottom left corner of the map measures distances of 5 kilometers and 5 miles. A note reads, “Private Land: Some lands within the parks remain private property. Respect landowners’ rights; do not trespass.” The legend continues at right: Thick green line for Redwood National Park authorized boundary, Thin gray line for State Park boundary, Green shading for Old-growth coast redwoods, Thin white line with black casing for unpaved road, and Dashed brown line for trail. Symbols that follow represent Campground, Backcountry campsite (free permit required), Fishing, Wheelchair-accessible, Boat access, Interpretive trail, and Picnic area. To the left of the coastline is a five part note in red text titled “FOR YOUR SAFETY”: High Tide: Check the tide tables before walking on the beaches. Rising water can trap you against a cliff with no possibility of escape. Tsunami Hazard Zone: If you feel an earthquake, think “tsunami!” Go to high ground or inland and stay there. Heavy surf: Very large, powerful “sneaker” waves can occur at any time. They will quickly pull you into the water and survival is unlikely. Never turn your back on the ocean. Steep Cliffs: Cliffs are likely to crumble and slide. Climbing on them or walking near the edge invites catastrophe. Because of falling rocks, walking below cliffs is dangerous. Keep away! Falling Limbs: Tree limbs can fall during high winds, especially in old-growth forests. Another note in black text at the right side of the map near the Klamath River reads, “Yurok Reservation: The lands within one mile of each side of the Klamath River from the Pacific Ocean to 43 miles upstream comprise the Yurok Reservation.”
