North of Eureka, Sue-Meg State Park sits on a lushly forested promontory beside the Pacific Ocean
Located 25 miles north of Eureka, California, Sue-Meg State Park is a park located in the heart of California's coast redwood country. The one-square-mile park is densely packed with potential adventures. On a short walk around the perimeter of the park you can hunt for agates (semi-precious gemstones), explore tidepools, walk through a jungle of shrubs and trees as you peer out at seals, sea lions, and migrating whales. In the park's interior, you'll find a visitor center, a native plant garden and a reconstructed Yurok plank-house village. You can picnic, or wake up to birdsong at one of three campgrounds. In summer you can witness a traditional ceremony at Sumêg Village or take a hike led by a docent or professional naturalist.
You don't have to go far to find something fascinating at Sue-Meg State Park.
