Fort Humboldt State Historic Park - Eureka (CA)

5 /5 ROBOACE: This is a great little stop in Eureka.There is a nice trail that takes you around the fort and you get all the history and some exercise. It sits atop a hill and overlooks the town.

5 /5 Aonika Russell: Nicely kept grounds - impressive history. We love finding out what happened in the old west as it was settled - its amazing what culture there used to be in this area. Its super sad to read about some of the things that happened to the natives in the area as well. Excellent place to take a walk and learn a little history.

2 /5 briantravelman: Was very underwhelming. I thought there would be more here. Half the property is employee housing. The two buildings that are standing were closed for entry. Main hospital building had windows completely boarded off. Couldnt even use the bathroom because it was on a code, that you had to walk all the way to the visitor center to get, then walk all the way back. Not a single staff member in sight. I work for State Parks, and this is one of the most poorly maintained state parks Ive ever visited. Its good they dont change an entry fee, because it is wasted potential.

5 /5 HIPPIE: Its a Bitter Sweet experience. As a kid I loved it, the little logger cabin,etc. Now that Im older and they have recently added plaques around the site explaining what really happened when Bucks Port "Eureka" was founded. Im glad that they did that it was a long time coming. Its a awesome place to fly a kite and walk Your dog on a sunny day. I suggest it if your from out of the area and want to learn some of the history of Humboldt County. Enjoy

4 /5 Elektra Mathews-Novelli: Good place to get a view of the bay. Big sky to watch the clouds. Big groomed grassy area to walk. Many people walk their dogs here. Has bathroom and old historical information.
