Rohner Park Trail is a 1.1 mile moderately trafficked loop trail near Fortuna, California, that is good for all skill levels. The trail is accessible year-round. You can also take a stroll along the river. Fortuna Riverwalk trail begins on Sandy Prairie Road, just north of its intersection with Drake Hill Road, and heads north, passing by open fields and farmlands, and industrial areas.

Public access into the Headwaters Forest Reserve is provided from the north at Elk River Road, approximately six miles from Eureka, and limited access is provided from the south at Newburg Road in Fortuna. Limited public access to the south part of the Reserve is available May through Nov. 15, with wet weather restrictions. Reservations can be made at the Arcata Field Office starting May.

Just a 20-minute drive down Highway 101 to the Avenue of the Giants, the Drury-Chaney trail is the northernmost trailhead in Humboldt Redwoods State Park.
