Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park

You’ll find Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park along the Smith River and U.S. Route 199 just nine miles east of lovely Crescent City. Densely forested with large, old redwoods, it’s the last of a line of redwood parks spanning the coast of Northern California. Be sure to drive along Howland Hill Road which is reputedly one of the best redwood drives in the state.

Best time to visit

There is no “best time” to visit California. Anytime is good depending on what climate you prefer or what specific activities you enjoy. Plan accordingly.
