Humboldt Redwoods State Park

Humboldt Redwoods State Park is a state park of California, United States, containing Rockefeller Forest, the world's largest remaining contiguous old-growth forest of coast redwoods. It is located 30 miles south of Eureka, California, near Weott in southern Humboldt County, within Northern California, named after the great nineteenth-century scientist, Alexander von Humboldt. The park was established by the Save the Redwoods League in 1921 largely from lands purchased from the Pacific Lumber Company. Beginning with the dedication of the Raynal Bolling Memorial Grove, it has grown to become the third-largest park in the California State Park system, now containing 51,651 acres through acquisitions and gifts to the state.
It is part of the Northern California coastal forests ecoregion and has 23,600 acres of old-growth forests. 17,000 acres are old-growth redwoods, comprising the entire Bull Creek watershed and the Rockefeller Forest.
