What an enchanting, incredible place. Relatively simple to navigate, parking without lots didn’t seem to pose much of an issue, & the trails weren’t overly busy. We made an effort to start by 7, and it felt like we practically had the forest to ourselves for an hour or two. It was definitely worth the early rise. Being in this park was such a magical experience & we are so grateful to have been walking amongst the giants!

Amazing trees and natural environment, we took a few short and mostly flat hikes on well maintained paths and enjoyed nature for a few hours. It was a great drive and a really good time. We stopped at the river just down the road which was also beautiful.

Bring mosquito spray! They will destroy you from the moment you leave your car. Also, the bathrooms are compost and have no sinks. Come prepared for that and you'll be able to enjoy the beautiful, well-maintained trail and ancient trees. Be aware also that the trail includes stairs, so it is not ADA accessible. But you can still experience the lovely gravel road that winds through the forest.

When I talk about our experience here in this park (specifically on the Grove of Titans trail) I struggle to find the words to explain just how otherworldly it is. Beyond magical. To witness these sacred ancient trees, stand amongst them and feel their magic is unlike anything else I've ever experienced. Truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. I'll never forget the feeling of standing below these giants. Breathing their air. Forever changed by them!

Not as moist as Prairie Park, but great trail options and thicker wood in general, and less crowded! One of my favorites Twilight Vibe

Visiting the Redwoods gives you a sense of Your scale in the world. Jedediah was great! It offered some relatively comfortable into the deep woods for casual walkers, as well as some less-traveled paths for those who want deeper, more solitary communing. ... We were visiting in mid-April and the visitors were study , but not overwhelming. However, we had trouble imagining what it would be like from June through August. Visit in the shoulder seasons.If you can.

Hosts some of the greatest views of old growth titanic trees in the world. Absolutely incredible experience driving Howland Hills Road which connects you with Stout Grove, Grove of the Titans and Boys Scout Trail. One of the most amazing natural spaces I have ever seen. Protect these forests at all costs!!

It is beautiful here!! Awe-inspiring views everywhere you look! I drove 12 hours the day before visiting. It was rough on my body. I suggest being well rested to optimally take in the all the nature experiences available. You need good shoes and clothing you can really move in. I was here March 24, 2026. The weather was in the upper 40's, lower 50's. It's cool and misty, with light rain periodically. I'm from SoCal, and it was like being in another world!! At the very least bring water and snacks along!

This place is truly one of a kind and easily one of my favorite spots on earth. Every time we visit, it blows everyone’s mind with its completely magical atmosphere. The trails are beautiful, varied, and never feel overcrowded, making it feel like a world of its own. If it’s your first time, be sure to stop by the visitor center the rangers are incredibly helpful and will point you in the right direction. You will not regret visiting!

Lovely park. Great walking trails. Clean park and friendly checkin at the kiosk. It loses a star because the bathrooms and showers are gross. Shower takes 4 quarters for 2 min. of water. There is no change machine like there is at other State parks. The drain was clogged/slow and water filled up the entire changing area. Very muddy and dirty showers and bathroom stalls.

Absolutely surreal and euphoric! Walking among these ancient redwoods feels like stepping into another world. The towering trees, peaceful trails, and crystal clear Smith River make it a truly magical experience. Far less crowded than other parks; pure bliss.

Absolutely beautiful and a must-see. True wonder of nature! We went and walked on the Grove of Titans trail, which is about two miles total. They ask that you stay on the trail (because your footsteps can damage the forest floor) and there are some raised metal walkways because of this. Though there’s a lot of roads and trails, it’s still a good idea to be prepared. There are countless areas where there’s no service, roads are dirt and are extremely narrow (but there are turnouts/shoulder areas where you can pass). BRING WATER AND SNACKS! It costs $8 per car if you park within fee areas. The parking lot by the Grove of Titans trailhead was free, and there’s a restroom there as well. Absolutely amazing. Even within five minutes of our hike, a deer walked across the pathway. Didn’t seem to mind humans. It’s worth a visit! Also, if you get the chance, visit the Smith River — the water looks like glass.

This park is beautiful. This is where you can see really big trees. There's very few places these days with trees that big. The campsites fill quickly make sure to reserve. Easy access to the river shallow water that you can sit in or fish

Amazing in every way. I recommend doing the Boy Scout Tree trail first. It’s the longest, but well worth it. The trail has tons of roots and hiking boots would be preferable. The Boy Scout tree is easy to miss since it is off the trail. It’s on the right side of the trail before you get to the waterfall.

Easy parking. A day pass can be purchased with a credit card at the ranger station, that one day pass is good for parking at any of the many parks in the area. I’d take cash with you for that Self parking situation,you can fill out your own ticket and put money in the hopper at the signage by the restroom, which also has a map. If no cash you will have to find that station I’m talking about. Easy parking, kid and pet friendly. (Pets on leashes) Absolutely gorgeous at every turn. The location used for filming the Ewok Village for one of the Star Wars movies is close by. A ranger can give you an idea of where. We hiked and got in the river. Bring comfortable walking shoes and you will need shoes if you plan on entering the water, it’s all rocks and difficult for to walk barefoot.
