Whether your BFF (Best Furry Friend) is a forest explorer, a river runner, or a beach splasher, Humboldt County has everything for the perfect pet-friendly adventures. Prairie Creek Redwood State Park boasts both towering redwoods and beautiful beaches, and the park’s dog-friendly Cal Barrel Trail.
