Prairie Creek Redwoods State Park is in Humboldt County, California, about 50 miles north of Eureka. This amazing coastal forest spans 14,000 acres, safeguarding ancient coast redwood trees. Co-managed by the California Department of Parks and Recreation and the National Park Service, it's part of the renowned Redwood National and State Parks. The meadow bordering the Newton B. Drury Scenic Parkway, featuring Roosevelt elk, is a park highlight. These unique grassy clearings within the redwood forest, locally known as prairies, lend the park its name.
