NCRD Natural and Cultural Resource Programs


Humboldt Lagoons State Park

Humboldt Lagoons State Park is located on the land of the Ner'-er-herh/Coastal Yurok People. Forty miles north of Eureka, the park includes Big Lagoon, Stone Lagoon, and Freshwater Lagoon, as well as Dry Lagoon, which is now a marsh, bordered by dunes, forests, prairies, and coastal scrub. With such varied habitats, wildlife thrives. On a single visit, you can see whales and elk, trout and salmon, pelicans and woodpeckers. 

Volunteering

At Humboldt Lagoons State Park volunteers assist with Azalea restoration through planting of Azaleas and management of the habitat by removing invasive species.
