When you cross over the Golden Bear Bridge that spans the mighty
Klamath River, you enter a special place unlike any other in
California, a place where ancient redwoods meet the sea. Del Norte
is home to the Redwood National and State Parks, breathtaking views,
and scenic river activity. Outdoor-lovers will revel in the 106,000
acres of preserved coastal forest land, the many winding miles of
hiking trails, educational presentations offered by dedicated
rangers, and numerous camping opportunities.
Del Norte County features miles of pristine, secluded beaches
bordered by rugged cliffs and towering redwoods. In Klamath, visit a
Native American History Museum, as well enjoy seasonal
whale-watching. Spend some time by the Klamath River, fishing for
salmon in its waters or enjoying a jet boat ride.
In Crescent City, follow Pebble Beach Drive to view sea lions
sunning on rocks and whales playing offshore, or head north to the
5,000-acre Lake Earl Wildlife Area. Visit the town of Smith River,
where more than ninety percent of the country's Easter lily bulbs
are grown. The Smith River National Recreation Area features the
Smith flowing through canyons, and has rapids for white-water
rafting. You'll truly be amazed by the adventure and spirit of Del
Norte County.
