General Hiking
It is not possible for us to visit all trails on a frequent basis. We often must rely on reports from the public concerning current trail conditions. If you visit any trails on the forest and note conditions different from what is listed here, we invite and welcome you to report what you observe to our headquarters at (707) 442-1721.
Day Hikes
Numerous interesting short trails provide the casual hiker an insight into the natural and cultural landscapes of the Six Rivers.
