The Nature Loop Trail at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park in Crescent City, California is an easy and accessible 0.6-mile loop trail that runs alongside Smith River and passes through an ancient Redwood grove.
This accessible trail is flat with a smooth surface to accommodate the public. You can also use this trail to connect to the River Beach Trail.
This 0.6-mile loop was tracked clockwise - heading left at the loop trail fork first. Heading this way, hikers end up hiking alongside Smith River on the second half of the loop, after about 0.35 miles or so. From the river side, there isn't much to see, but you can filter water from the river if you carry a water filter on your hikes.
Parking: Parking can be found at the coordinates provided, a short distance from the trailhead.
Pets: Dogs are not allowed on trails at Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park.
Water source: Smith River is a fine water source if you carry a water filter on your hikes.
Camping: Camping is allowed nearby at the campground (not backcountry / primitive / dispersed), only by reservation. Check this site for camping reservation details.

Before you leave...
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. As the main contributor and doer-of-all-things for MyHikes, I share my experiences from hikes and backpacking trips on MyHikes for fun on a volunteer basis and I believe that public trail information should be available to everyone.
It takes a lot of time 🕦, money 💰, and effort (including espresso shots ☕) to run MyHikes, including hiking , mapping , writing , and publishing new trails with high-quality content... along with building new features, moderating, and site maintainance . I 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! ✌
