Bureau of Land Management, Arcata Field Office

Not your average BLM office. This office’s focus is recreation, not resource extraction. They are responsible for the King Range National Conservation Area, better known as the Lost Coast, as well as Headwaters Reserve, a battleground in the fight to save the old growth redwoods. They also cover four wilderness areas and miles of untamed coast. A great place to find the wilder corners of the area.

Six Rivers National Forest

The Smith, Kalamath, Trinity, Mad, Van Duzen and Eel rivers flow through this long narrow National Forest. This is a decidedly government website, but if you are willing to spend a little time you can uncover a wealth of information. This site has information on hiking, camping, off highway vehicle use, whitewater paddling, cycling, horse riding, and many other activities.

This huge National Forest running from Mount Shasta in the East to the Trinity Alps Wilderness in the West and stretching from the Oregon Border on the north, down to Mendocino County, in the south. Their website has information on mushroom hunting, camping, water sports, back country scenic drives, picnicking, and winter activities along with almost anything else you may want to know about the National Forest.
