Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park is a 10,000-acre state park that is cooperatively managed by the California State Parks service and the National Park Service. The California park was established in 1929, named for the first European settler to explore Northern California's interior in the 1820s.
It has been declared as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and an International Biosphere Reserve for its protected population of California old-growth redwood trees, which preserves more than 45 percent of the region's redwood population.
Fishing, snorkeling, and kayaking opportunities are offered within the park along the Smith River, which is known as a major filming site for the 1936 feature film The Last of the Mohicans. Tent and RV hookups are offered at Jedediah Smith Campground, along with a variety of interpretive campfire programming hosted throughout the summer months.
