Grizzly Creek Redwoods SP

State Park

Grizzly Creek Redwoods SP will be open from 5/26/2010 to 9/6/2010. NO RESERVATIONS, first-come first-serve only.

The redwoods in the Grizzly Creek area were what inspired Owen R. Cheatham, founder of Georgia-Pacific Corporation, to preserve this site in perpetuity.

The Cheatham Grove is an exceptional stand of coast redwoods. The park is a quiet place to camp, hike, fish, swim and picnic. The Van Duzen River flows beside the campground.
