Everything about Humboldt Redwoods State Park totally explained
Humboldt Redwoods State Park is located 30 miles (50 km) south of
Eureka, California in southern
Humboldt County, within northern
California. Established by the
Save-the-Redwoods League in 1921 with the dedication of the
Raynal Bolling Memorial Grove, it has grown to become the third largest park in the California State Park System, containing nearly through acquisitions and gifts to the state. Among its assets is the largest, contiguous remaining old-growth redwood forest in the world. At this forest, comprised of the entire
Bull Creek Watershed and the
Rockefeller Forest, is a pristine, diverse ecosystem unequaled by any other in any of the other Redwood parks.
Nearby
U.S. Route 101, which generally follows the
Eel River in this part of the North Coast, offers easy access to the park and nearby towns with connections to the scenic highway,
Avenue of the Giants, also mostly located within or near park boundaries.
Three park campgrounds, complete with potable water, bathrooms, and showers, contain more than 250 campsites.
Redwoods
The park is famed for its coast redwoods (Sequoia sempervirens), some of which grow to over 90 m in height. It is also home to the 2nd tallest living redwood, the
Stratosphere Giant, which was measured at 112.83 metres in 2004. Stratosphere Giant was the tallest living redwood until the discovery of
Hyperion, a tree in
Redwood National Park, measuring 115.55 m in September 2006.
Before the discovery of Hyperion, the tallest redwood ever measured was the "Dyerville Giant", also in Humboldt State Park. The tree, the tallest tree ever measured, was 113.4 metres high when it fell in March 1991. It was estimated to be 1600 years old.
Most of the original old growth redwoods surrounding the park have been clearcut over the past several decades.
