Humboldt Lagoons State Park
From Fortuna: approx. 60 miles north on U.S. 101
Comprised of a chain of 4 lagoons in an area of over 1,000 acres the park is a favorite spot for windsurfing, kayaking and canoeing, fishing, bird watching, camping and hiking. The Park includes miles of varied coastline from broad, flat marine terraces to steep rocky cliffs and beaches. Two of the most popular hikes are from Big Lagoon along the coast or through the 40 acre Stagecoach Hill Azalea Preserve, overlooking the lagoon.
A few miles north of Big Lagoon are Stone Lagoon, Freshwater Lagoon, and Dry Lagoon. Both Big Lagoon and Stone Lagoon are breached by the ocean and their waters vary in salt content. There are plenty of campsites in the park - six, of which, are environmental, meaning accessible by foot or boat only. Be sure to visit the Humboldt Lagoons Visitors Center and Bookstore for more information about the Humboldt Lagoons State Park and surrounding area.
