Arcata Community Forest, Protected redwood forest in Arcata, California.
The Arcata Community Forest spans 790 acres and contains a network of trails crossing steep ravines and hilly areas between 250 and 1010 feet elevation.
The forest area transformed from Wiyot Native American territory in the 1850s to extensive logging grounds in the 1880s before becoming municipally owned in 1955.
The Forest Guild recognizes Arcata Community Forest as a Model Forest, placing it among 20 similar locations throughout the United States for management excellence.
Multiple entry points provide access to the forest, including Redwood Park, Fickle Hill Road, and California Street, with trail maps available at parking locations.
The South Fork Janes Creek Trail creates a 2-mile loop through the forest, established through a conservation easement from the Samuels family in 2014.
