This section of the Kent Mather Trail at Humboldt Redwoods State Park is a short 0.6 out-and-back hike that starts along the Avenue of the Giants on CA-254 and brings you out to South Fork Eel River and back. The trail itself is nothing special other than that it's a nice hike through the living and fallen redwood trees.
There's a nearby campground right up the road - the Burlington Campground - so this trail serves as a nice getaway from the campground and into the state park itself.
MyHikes is an indie web platform aimed to make exploring public trails easier for everyone. The site has no investors and is owned and operated by one person, Dave Miller / Admin. We share trails, hikes, and backpacking trips on the interwebs for the fun of it and believe that public trail information should be free and accessible to the public.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including exploring , mapping , and publishing new trails with high-quality content, adding new site features, and site maintainance and moderating. We simply ask that if you find our content helpful or useful when planning your next adventure that you consider making a small donation to help keep the site running.
You can become a Supporter* (*MyHikes user account required) to unlock perks for as little as $0.83/month with a 1-time non-recurring payment 😎 Or you can simply Donate any amount without a MyHikes user account. Otherwise, telling your friends about MyHikes is the next-best thing to a donation - both quick and free 😄
Thanks for visiting MyHikes and have a great hike! ✌
