Del Norte Coast Redwoods State Park Details

For the perfect mix of ocean and forest, head to this state park in Northern California. Over half of the 31,00-acres are redwood forests, which make up approximately 45% of the last remaining old-growth forests on the planet. Here, you can walk the 2-mile Damnation Creek Trail or spend a few nights camping under some of the tallest trees in California. The park also encompasses almost 8-miles of ocean coastline. There is also the 1/2 mile-long Wilson Beach, which has plenty of sea creatures to discover in the small rocky pools during low tide. However, this is not a great place for swimming as the water is rough and very cold.
