"No Sailing Directions are required for this anchorage. It is perfectly safe from May to October and will be found of importance as a Harbor of Refuge for vessels that may have suffered on their way North from the strong head winds that generally prevail along the coast during these months."

Kids and Family
Besides trips to the many beautiful beaches and parks in Trinidad, there are other activities for children in and around town, such as tide pooling, park, easy hikes and playground.
Humboldt State University`s Fred Telonicher Marine Laboratory houses a touch pool for all ages to learn about creatures living in the intertidal zone of northcoast waters.
The Humboldt State University Marine Lab was established in 1965 to provide a center for marine and environmental science teaching and research for the students and faculty of the College of Natural Resources and Sciences. Located on a bluff that overlooks the Pacific Ocean in Trinidad, the HSU Marine Lab provides ready access to the local marine environments of rocky shorelines, sandy beach and offshore kelp beds. This dramatic coastline of California remains one of the most pristine natural areas of the state. The lab is well equipped to support both teaching and research projects on the marine life and the ocean environments. |

Mark your calendar and make the first Saturday of October through May your regular date for a fun adventure in the redwoods.
The Newton B. Drury Scenic parkway will close Friday night at 5 p.m. and re-open Sunday morning. These Saturday closures occur from October through May on the first weekend of each month. During the closures, access to the Elk Prairie Campground and Visitor Center will remain open. Closing the 10-mile through route to motorized vehicles provides an opportunity for park visitors to safely experience the parkway without the noise and sounds of cars and trucks. Come explore by foot, bicycle, skateboard, rollerblades or any other non-motorized vehicle. Dogs-on-leash are also welcome on the parkway, although prohibited on park trails for the safety of pets and wildlife.
The parkway has something for everyone, from families with young children looking for a safe and easy ride, to those looking for a more physically-challenging route. Much of the southern end of the parkway is relatively flat, while the hills of the northern portion require more energy. However, all efforts are rewarded by a long, smooth downhill glide all the way back to the prairie. In addition, although the parkway is closed, many of the trails for both short and long hikes begin within a short walk from the parking areas. |
