Nestled in the valley of the Eel River between Redwoods and the Lost Coast of northern California is the Southern Humboldt Community Park.  Located just outside Garberville, the unique natural beauty of this 430-acre park with grasslands, upland forests, prime farmland and native redwoods inspires deep appreciation and reverence for nature.Â
This is a great place for outdoor recreation. Enjoy the playground, public beach access to the South Fork of the Eel River, 3.5 miles of interpretive trails; hiking, birdwatching, bicycling, swimming, kayaking, horseback riding, picnicking, a disc golf course, a meditation labyrinth and a skate park.
