Take a break from driving HWY 101, and take a short walk along the coast and see crashing waves, piles of driftwood, and gaze across the parks' protected marine areas. Keep you eyes peeled for offshore wildlife. <br /> <br /> This trail is located at the west end of <a href="https://www.nps.gov/places/lagooncrkdayuse.htm">Lagoon Creek</a> day use area. Signs on HWY101 will identify the turn off to the Lagoon Creek, The first half mile of the trail is part of the California Coastal Trail, which then continues south about four miles to the <a href="https://www.nps.gov/places/klamathriveroverlook.htm">Klamath River Overlook.</a><br /> <br /> However, the Yurok Loop Trail itself is only a mile long. There are no redwoods to be seen on this trail, but it offers views north to False Klamath Cove and to the west are offshore sea stacks covered with millions of shore birds. You will eventually walk through Douglas-fir and sitka spruce woods, past wildflowers, and assorted coastal habitats.<br /> <br /> <span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Safety Tips</span></span></span> <ul> <li><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">We recommend you purchase and use a good map and trail guide for your adventures in Redwood National and State Parks.
