"Jedediah Smith Redwoods State Park is one of the best places to experience old-growth redwoods with relatively little effort. It’s near Crescent City, California, about 9 miles east of town on Highway 199, and is part of the jointly managed Redwood National and State Parks system. California State Parks says the park covers about 10,000 acres, and the broader Redwood National and State Parks protect about 45% of California’s remaining old-growth redwoods. The big appeal is that Jedediah Smith feels more intimate and less developed than some other redwood areas. You get huge trees, lush ferns, mossy forest, the clear Smith River, and scenic backroads rather than a highly built-up national park experience. Best things to do Stout Grove is the must-do easy walk. It’s a short loop through a cathedral-like grove of massive redwoods near the Smith River. This is probably the best quick “wow” stop in the park. Howland Hill Road is the signature scenic drive. It’s a narrow, winding road through old-growth redwoods and gives you that “driving through the forest tunnel” feeling. It is not ideal for large RVs or trailers. Grove of Titans is a short trail/boardwalk area that protects some enormous redwoods. It’s a good add-on if you want something beyond Stout Grove. Boy Scout Tree Trail is the bigger hike option. It’s around 5 miles out-and-back and is considered one of the park’s showcase redwood hikes. Smith River is great for scenery, swimming in warm weather, fishing, and just relaxing near the campground area. The Jedediah Smith campground sits along the river in old-growth forest and has campsites plus some cabins; California State Parks lists 89 campsites with tables, fire rings, cupboards, nearby restrooms, and no hookups. How much time to spend For a road-trip stop, give it 2–4 hours: drive Howland Hill Road, walk Stout Grove, and stop by the Smith River. For a fuller visit, give it one full day, especially if you want to do Grove of Titans or Boy Scout Tree Trail. Best base Crescent City is the easiest hotel base. It’s close to Jedediah Smith, the coast, Battery Point Lighthouse, and the northern end of Redwood National and State Parks. If you’re doing a broader redwoods trip, you can pair Jedediah Smith with Del Norte Coast Redwoods and Prairie Creek Redwoods. My take For your road-trip style, Jedediah Smith is a must-stop if you’re anywhere near Crescent City or driving the Oregon Coast / Northern California redwoods route. I’d prioritize Stout Grove + Howland Hill Road first. Those two give you the best payoff without committing to a long hike."

"good guide to park. Jedediah Smith Redwoods is one of the four parks that make up Redwoods National and State Parks (RNSP). This section of old-growth forest is stunning, with many short trails through what we consider the most scenic groves in RNSP. Everywhere you look, you’re surrounded by these ancient giants, many of which are between 500 and 2,500 years old. And no, the views never get old."

"Within in is Stout Grove, often called the most scenic stand of redwoods in the world. The drive to Stout Grove is a single lane gravel road. It's 7 miles in from one edge of the park and 3 miles from the other. Not one way so you have to pull over if someone comes the other way."
