The Eel River has regularly high floods, typically in spring. Every few years it can be surprisingly high. In 1964 it exceeded 30 above the road level, the marker on top of the pole helps to visualize this

In 1964, a perfect storm of snowmelt and heavy rain caused historic flooding in Humboldt County and the greater Pacific Northwest. Along the Eel River watershed, raging flood waters destroyed roads, bridges and entire communities. Highway 101 was submerged in some places. You may have seen the High Water marker on the west side of Highway 101 just north of the Salmon Creek exit in southern Humboldt. Another marker is on a pole on the Avenue of the Giants in Weott; almost out of sight at the top of the tall pole is a marker showing how deep the avenue was below the surface of the flooded Eel River.

The South Fork Eel River flood mark from the 1964 flood stands along Avenue of the Giants in Weott, Humboldt County, CA.
